"Very well; you are perfectly within your rights."
"I know that, but I would like to know your name."
"Seth Warner."
"I am Jack Edwards, at your service."
"Very well, Mr. Jack Edwards, you can serve me by going about your business."
"So I will, now that I have seen you. Good-day."
Warner did not answer the valedictory, and the man stooped down, and, picking up a handful of gravel, threw it at Warner.
"That's for your bad manners."
Warner, quick-tempered, was about to seize Edwards, when Allen pulled him back. "Sit down, Seth; the fellow is only trying to embroil us, so that our enemies may get the better of us."
"You may be right, Ethan, but I have got that fellow's face printed on my mind, and when I meet him, as I shall, I will pay him with compound interest."
