Pub ? No, seh, Rosemont's not public, but it really rep'esents ow people, which, o' co'se, the otheh don't." "Public funds to a private concern," quietly commented the Englishman "that's a steal." John March's blood began to boil. "O," cried Shot well "ow people who pay the taxes infinitely rather Rosemont should have it."
The tone was gentle, almost compassionate. "I don't suppose God would strike you dead, but I wouldn't do it, sir." He turned to go, and, glancing back unexpectedly, saw on Garnet's face a look so evil that it haunted him for years. Barbara walked along the slender road in front of Rosemont's grove. The sun was gone.
"Professor" Pettigrew had always been coldly indifferent to many things commonly counted chief matters of life. One of these was religion; another was woman. His punctuality at church at the head of Rosemont's cadets was so obviously perfunctory as to be without a stain of hypocrisy.
With the morning, confession was impossible. He thought rather of revenge, and was hot with the ferocious plans of a boy's helplessness.

The pastor has said amen. Garnet spoke extemporaneously. The majority, who did not know every line of the sermon was written and memorized, marvelled at its facility, and even some who knew admitted it was wonderful for fervor, rhetorical richness and the skill with which it "voiced the times" without so much as touching those matters which Dixie, Rosemont's Dixie, did not want touched.

"In John's you're right, my brother! I'm suprised he don't see it so!" "O I'm not! He's a terribly overrated chap, Brother Tombs.
