第 270 頁 - Shame! shame! you bloody-minded man," she cried, "to slaughter your own son, your only son to come behind him and knock him down with a club as if he had been an inhuman ox! You are no husband of mine. He shan't own you for a father. If I had the pick, I'd choose a thousand fathers for him, from here to Massassippi, sooner than you.
