Of course, I'm sorry he punched your face." "Damn his soul!" burst out Oldham. "Just let me deal with him my way, instead of yours," repeated Saleratus Bill.

"That kid introduced us, with some footnotes and explanations that made things plainer than a week of rhetoric. He danced around, and punched us in the back, and tried to climb John Tom's leg.
