The American Senator

CHAPTER II
4/18

When asked whether he did not think that his client had compassed the death of the animal, he assured the Senator that in such matters he never ventured to think.

"Let us go by the evidence, Mr.Gotobed," he said.
"But I am paying my money for the sake of getting at the facts." "Evidence is facts, sir," said the attorney.

"Any way let us settle about the pheasants first." The condition of the Senator's mind may perhaps be best made known by a letter which he wrote from Dillsborough to his especial and well-trusted friend Josiah Scroome, a member of the House of Representatives from his own state of Mickewa.

Since he had been in England he had written constantly to his friend, giving him the result of his British experiences.
Bush Inn, Dillsborough, Ufford County, England, December 16, 187--.
MY DEAR SIR, Since my last I have enjoyed myself very well and I am I trust beginning to understand something of the mode of thinking of this very peculiar people.

That there should be so wide a difference between us Americans and these English, from whom we were divided, so to say, but the other day, is one of the most peculiar physiological phenomena that the history of the world will have afforded.
