I know you're going down to Pea Patch Island to have it out, and I'm not going to allow it.

I'll arrest you as sure as a gun if you try it on, now mind me!" "Really, sir," said Mr.Striker, "there must be some mistake about--" "Oh no, there isn't; your name's Joe Striker, isn't it ?" asked the sheriff.

It sha'n't come off; and I'm doing you a favor in blocking the game, because Harry'd curl you all up any way if I let you meet him.

You'll be sorry if you don't." "I do not know what you are referring to," said Mr.Striker.
