"Of course he got his
discount ugg
boots property restored to him?" interrupted the Captain.
"Most certainly, Captain! The spirit of justice is coequal with that of
honorable law, in South Carolina," said George, anxious to relieve the Colonel
of the answer.
"It is somewhat difficult to settle a man's business by
legal process when the principal is not present. The law's delay and lawyers'
spoils make time hallowed and costly," said the Captain.
"You're right
there, Captain," said the Colonel;
cheap uggs online "and I
doubt-to speak honestly-whether Jones ever got much of his property. There's a
good many stories told, and a great deal of mystery about it that's got to be
explained to my mind. But you're a stranger, Captain, and it would not be
interesting to the feelings of a Scotchman. I may give you the details more
minutely at some future day."
"Why, Colonel!" said
uggs
discount George, "you should be considerate in your statements.
Remember the immense difficulty that has attended Jones's affairs-they're not
all settled yet."
"True, George; and I'm afraid they never will be;--but
there are some very singular appearances connected with it. I mean no personal
disrespect toward those cousins of yours who have figured in the case. 'Tis bad
to call names, but there is a mystery about
ugg
boots discount outlet a certain member of our profession getting
rich, when poor Jones declares he's got nothing, and Lee has had to give up the
house,--I don't say what for." * * *
"Yes, strange things must be kept
strangely secret in some parts of the world, and only whispered when there's no
wind," said the Captain.
"But that's the only case, Captain," said
George; "and the Colonel was
discount
uggs for women indiscreet in recounting it; for from that you may
conceive wrong impressions of the best institutions and laws in the world. Jones
was an old fool, led away by his nigger-like affections for them gals of his. He
never knew when he was well off, and always wanted to be with white folk when he
was here. 'Twould been a great deal better if he'd
discount
uggs for women let them youngest gals gone with Pingree and
Allston. They'd have made the tip-top mistresses--been kept like ladies, and not
been bothered, and brought all this trouble upon their heads through these
infernal abolitionists. I really believe the old fool thought some white man
would marry them at one time."
