He allers read the papers though, an' criticised the news, an' helt us fellers spellbound with his military views , . He cussed about the Kaiser, an' swore vengeance on the Turk, but his daddy told me privately, he werent much hand to work! Hill lives around here, somewheres - there's a mortgage on his shack. - We don't see very much of Bill sence the soldier-boys got back He's simmered down, they tell me, from his ante-bellum pride, you wouldn't give a nickel fer his good-fer-nothin' hide.
