There were the two men, both supposed to be rich.

There was the time, when the kissing games were going on, when the governor was not seen by any of his guests.

The governor was rich always afterward, while the judge struggled along with adversity and finally went away from the county poor as a church mouse.

Then there was the jingle I seemed to remember at starting, and Judge Stone's twice speaking of it--the jingle Virginia did not hear.

Salt does not jingle.
For a long time it appeared to me that these things seemed to prove that the governor got the money; but lately, since both the men have passed away, I have had my doubts.
