MRS. G.: We found out that people have been talking from other places, too. Downtown and even in the suburbs."Say, my friend," said the officer, "who brought that cow in?"
"I'm goin' to settle ye this time, young feller, in spite o' yer fibbin'. Ye peck around me like a cock pickin' up corn, but I'll bust ye. Look hout for yerself."The members all looked up in astonishment."Can't say that I do," answered Billings, pretending to examine them while he could recover his wits sufficiently for a fine of defense."I thought you little brats was ordered to stay behind with the things," he gasped."I've got 'em in here, badly hurt," answered the Deacon, jumping to the ground and grasping the outstretched hand in his own horny palm. "I'm very glad to see you, Mr. Rosenbaum.""I never saw a man who was achin' for a good lickin' like that old bluffer. And he'll git it jest as soon as he's out o' the service, if I have to walk a hundred miles to give it to him."
