His wife was an uppish hussy who thought herself better than her husband, and their daughter was a pretty girl with black eyes and rosy cheeks.

"Not a bad-looking old chap very tall and well set up piercing blue eyes and a pretty uppish way of talking."
"But we won't draw it mild," said Franklin; "it's quite true; you and Jones are brutes to bully that poor little fellow so. He never hurt you."
