Chapter VIII
Pole drew himself up to his full height, and stared at the lawyer with flashing eyes. “Damn yore soul,” he said; “don't you say a thing like that to me agin. I 'll have you know I've got feelin' s as well as you or anybody else. I'd cut off this right arm an' never wince to do Alan Bishop a favor, but I 'll be danged ef anybody kin look me over after I've done a _little_ one an' pay me for it in store-clothes. I don't like that one bit, an' I ain't afeerd to say so.”
