"I suppose Dr. Redmond put himself out to entertain such a distinguished guest?"
"No, Mr. Fogson, I don't think he did."

"No," answered Jed with emphasis.
"We ought to be thankful, Mrs. Fogson and I, humbly thankful, that we ain't to be turned out by this high and mighty doctor."
"If you don't like the doctor you had better tell him so," said Jed; "he don't need me to defend him."
