But the sale of his law library and the best of the housen' stuff paid it. The nine hundred he left went, every mite of it, to pay the funeral expenses and mournin' for the family.

But no old friend of mine shall go afoot while I have the wherewith to pay for a carriage, and an empty seat in it. Shall set in the back seat with Mrs. Stacy, upon my soul you shall, and that's an honor I don't offer to every man. Now just tell me where you are putting up."

I asked Jerry about it and he said he had sold the horse to you, so I brought him here." "You are very kind, Mr. Lane," replied Captain Putnam. "I'd like to pay you for your trouble."
