He had been told what had happened, and presented himself equipped with wool, lint, and bandages. He speedily discovered that the pistol had been discharged at the place where Mr Lawrence supposed his heart to beat.

"But we can't go now. I dassent leave them preserves. If I do Ma'll skin me. Anyways, ain't we goin' to let Elgin an' Fatty in on it, Bill?" "You speak like a gentleman to me in this matter, which you do not often do when I refer to it, nor your father neither——" Erie laughed softly, "I know very well you've had a hand in his reform, Billy," she said.
