Guy Rivers: A Tale of Georgia

CHAPTER VI
10/44

And that ain't all.
Thar's no counting up his offences." "Bad as the fellow is, do you think it possible that they will torture him as you describe, or hang him, without law, and a fair trial ?" "Why, Lord love you, ha'n't I told you that he'll have a fair trial, afore the regilators, and thar'll be any number of witnesses, and judges, and sheriffs, and executioners.

But, ef you know'd Bunce, you'd know that a fair trial is the very last marcy that he'd aix of Providence.

Don't you think now that he'll git anything worse than his righteous desarvings.

He's a fellow that's got no more of a saving soul in him than my whip-handle, and ain't half so much to be counted on in a fight.

He's jest now nothing but a cheat and a swindle from head to foot; hain't got anything but cheat in him--hain't got room for any principle---not enough either to git drunk with a friend, or have it out, in a fair fight, with his enemy.
