"He did, too."
"He didn't nuther, I see Mr. Sherman set in that are very spot yesterday."
At the commencement of the dispute, Little Wolf slipped away and sought refuge in her own room, and Daddy embraced the opportunity to lecture Sorrel Top soundly.
"'Tween you and me, you've disgusted the Honey," said he, "speakin so unrespectful of her friends."
"She don't know nothing about it," said Sorrel Top.
"'Tween you and me she stood right behind you and heered the hull," said Daddy triumphantly.
"I don't believe it," said Sorrel Top, getting very red in the face.
"I'll leave it to Miss Hawley," said Daddy.
Mrs. Hawley corrobarated the statement and Daddy continued his lecture.
