Who cried 'steeple-top'?" he muttered. "Oh, can't you see I'm married. She hears it. Oh, spare and pity her!" He wandered into the miasmatic world again, leaving them all touched, yet oppressed. "How the very flint-stone will wear away before the water-drop," Judge Custis finally said; "his obdurate heart has been bruised by that nickname.
If he know'd I was in love with little Roxy he'd marry her to a nigger." "What makes him hate you so, Jack?" "Becaze I wears my bell-crowns, and he wears the steeple-top hat.

He also shrank before the impending failure of his furnace and abandonment of the bog-ore tract, on which he had raised so much state and local fame; people would say: "Custis was a fool, and deceived himself, while old Steeple-top Milburn played upon the Custises' vanity, and turned them into the street."
