"I've seen riding in my day," he continued, "both down in Loudon and on the Eastern Shore men born with spurs on their heels, and I tell you this Potter could hold his own, even with the Lees and the Tollivers. We took the hedge together, while you were making a round of I don't know how many miles on the road; and I never saw a thing neater done.
If Uncle Jabez had taken to heart anything that Aunt Alvirah had said, he did not show it. He was as moody as ever and spoke no more to Ruth than before.

He made a good solicitor. Some of the merchants flatly refused, saying they did not care to risk Dunlavey's anger.
