General Tom Thumb didn't seem very anxious, but we made him hurry up an' come along with us.

We couldn't afford to leave him nowheres.

The clerk down-stairs--a different one from the chap who was there the night before--said that a middle-aged, elderly lady came down about an hour before an' asked him to tell her the way to the United States Bank, an' when he told her he didn't know of any such bank, she jus' stared at him, an' wanted to know what he was put there for.

So he didn't have no more to say to her, an' she went out, an' he didn't take no notice which way she went.

We had the same opinion about him that Mrs.Jackson had, but we didn't stop to tell him so.
