He ain't got any business down here anyways, but he's so pig-headed you can't tell him anythin'; I'll say that much, even if he is my father. It's bad enough for him to lug me away from town, but he made Lou come along, too.","Who?",In one hand he carried a huge butcher-knife, in the other a long whetstone. More big knives glittered in the leather belt about his waist.

He threatened to shoot Stanhope. But Stanhope only laughed an' went on with his cuttin' an' stump-pullin'. Scroggie used to swear he'd murder both of 'em, an' he was always sayin' that if he died his ghost would come back an' ha'nt the Stanhopes. Yes, he said that once in my own hearin'.She was twenty-three years of age, and it will be readily supposed had been sought in marriage by more than one ardent swain.

He knew his capabilities and for once in his life, he confessed to himself, he had over-estimated them.
