Oh, daddy, dear! When are we coming home? I miss you so much!" The woman moved forward, eyes upon the kneeling, soul-torn man; and upon the little child that was his. "Another advocate!" she said.
"Why wasn't yer hyar when them dawgs come by? Why was ye the only South thet runned away, when they was smellin' round fer Jesse Purvy's assassin?" "I didn't run away." Tamarack's blood-shot eyes flared wickedly. "I knowed thet ef I stayed 'round hyar with them damned Hollmans stickin' their noses inter our business, I'd hurt somebody.
