He borrowed Buz's rifle, without remark, and stood prepared for emergencies. Ater waiting some time, he went down to the butcher's shop which he kept, and saw Plummer frequently; but he always had somebody close beside him, so that, without endangering another man's life, Hank could not fire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
