Guy Rivers: A Tale of Georgia

CHAPTER VIII
8/19

Mister is a great word, and moves people quite too far off from one another.

I never have any concern with a man that I have to mister and sir.

I call them 'squire because that's a title the law gives them; and when I speak to you, I say 'squire, or Master Colleton.

You may be a 'squire yourself, but whether you are or are not, it makes no difference, for you get the name from your father, who is.

Then, ag'in, I call you master--because, you see, you are but a youth, and have a long run to overtake my years, few as you may think them.
