"Get out of here!" Gordon shouted in a sudden
moving rage; "and stay out; don't come back when
you find what's what."

"I c'n do that. And I'll point out to you we just
came for Lettice, we never took nothing of yours.
I only stopped now to warn you away... I'll hitch
her up, Gordon; you get down the road."

"It's mine now, whose ever it was awhile back.
I've paid for it. You go."

Simeon Caley lingered reluctantly at the door.
Gordon stood rigidly; his eyes were bright points
of wrath, his arm rose, with a finger indicating the
world without. The former slowly opened the door,
stepped out upon the porch; he stayed a moment
more, then closed himself from sight.
