"Nor yet one of 'em--and it's my opinion that the coining-gang would be nabbed all the sooner, if you was to give over helping the law to catch them." This answer produced a vehement expostulation from my excitable neighbor, to which I paid little attention, being better engaged in reading the handbill. |
