| I had known Barting as a captain in the Federal army during the civil war. It had given him a disgust to his business, and to his residence in a small market town; and, in quitting them both, he had removed with his family to a house about a mile from Meryton, denominated from that period Lucas Lodge, where he could think with pleasure of his own importance, and, unshackled by business, occupy himself solely in being civil to all the world. With that civil speech, I turned on my heel; and the prisoners near all burst out laughing. |
