- "Let that skull alone!
- What are you doing on my grounds?"
- Your grounds!" said Tom, with a sneer; "no more yourgrounds than mine; they belong to Deacon Peabody."
- "Deacon Peabody be damned," said the stranger, "as I flatter myself he will be, if he does not look more to his own sins and less to those of his neighbors. Look yonder,and see how Deacon Peabody is faring."

- "He's just ready for burning!"

- "The right of a prior claim," said the other. "This wood land belonged to me long before one of your white-faced race put foot upon the soil.
- "And, pray, who are you, if I may be so bold?" said Tom.
