Brass, like Goliath, from head to heels; an' by the heels he's laid, I'll take my davy, considherin' at his laysure which is strongest a brass castle or a stone jug. An' where, Sir, am I to get my five hundred guineas where, Sir? he thundered, staring first in Lowe's face, then in Toole's, and dealing the table a lusty blow at each interrogatory.
Major Davidson's residence was about one mile east of Toole's Ford, on the Catawba river. Robert Irwin was a distinguished officer, and performed important military service during the Revolutionary War.
'Well well there now, there; drink some of this, said Toole, a little flurried, and trying to seem cool. 'I think he's a little bit better, doctor, whispered poor little Mrs. Sturk, in Toole's ear. 'Twill pass away. Ma'am.

General Davidson had placed guards at Tuckasege, Toole's, Cowan's and Beattie's Fords.
The door was bolted and locked on the inside, in accordance with Doctor Toole's solemn injunction; and there was no attempt to use violence.

Mack thought indeed, she was quite sure she heard a little fussing about the bed-room door, and concluded that the doctor was getting under cover. When Mrs. Matchwell had set her empty glass upon the table, she glided to the window, and Mrs. Mack's guilty conscience smote her, as she saw her look towards Toole's house.
