Excerpt from Guy Rivers, the Outlaw: A Tale of Georgia By what right do you ask this question was the hurried and unhesitating response of the person so addressed. You are impertinent l Softly, softly, young sir. Be not rash, and let me recommend that you be more choice in the adoption of your epithets. Impertinent is an ugly word between gentlemen of our habit. Touching my right to ask this or that question of young men who lose their way, that's neither here nor there, and is important in no way. But, I take it, I shall have some right in this matter, seeing, young sir, that you are upon a turnpike, and I am the gate-keeper who must take the toll. A sarcastic smile passed over the lips of the man as he uttered the sentence, which was as suddenly succeeded, however. By an expression of gravity, partaking of an air of the profound est business. The traveller surveyed him for a moment before he replied, as if to ascertain in what point of view properly to understand his conduct.
