"I should say not, indeed. Let the governor come here if he wants to talk with you."
Talbot could make no headway, so he left the house in disgust.
He went to Faithful Quincy, the town crier, and bade him summon the men to assemble at the courthouse at once.
Quincy looked at the attorney and waited until the order was given.
"In whose name am I to give the notice?"
"That of the governor."
"Then, please your honor, you must go to the sheriff and get his order."
"Is that necessary?"
"It is, if you want to have the people assemble."
Talbot wished himself back at Concord.
