Mad! Well, I've been so mad for two days I couldn't find my way to town--been wandering around in the brush in a starving condition--got anything here to drink, General?
But I'm here now, and I'm a-going to law.

You hear me!" Never in all the world, perhaps, were a man's feelings so outraged as were the General's.

He said he had never heard of such high-handed conduct in all his life as this Morgan's.

And he said there was no use in going to law--Morgan had no shadow of right to remain where he was -- nobody in the wide world would uphold him in it, and no lawyer would take his case and no judge listen to it.

Hyde said that right there was where he was mistaken--everybody in town sustained Morgan; Hal Brayton, a very smart lawyer, had taken his case; the courts being in vacation, it was to be tried before a referee, and ex-Governor Roop had already been appointed to that office and would open his court in a large public hall near the hotel at two that afternoon.
The General was amazed.
