"No need of that, suh, no need of that. Here, Jim," he called to his coachman, "take Mr. Scatters wherever he wants to go, and remember, I shall hold you responsible for his safety."
"Yes, suh," said Jim.
"A thousand thanks, Major," said the man with the mission.
"Not at all, suh. By the way, that was a very fine effort of yours this afternoon. I was greatly moved by it. If you'll give me your address I'll send you a history of our family, suh, from the time they left Vuhginia and before."
Mr. Scatters gave him the address, and smiled at the three enemies, who still waited on the edge of the green.
"To the station," he said to the driver.
