He must have seen I did n't know him . '' `` He would n't say a word about it -- he 'd just enjoy the joke . Do n't worry over snubbing him -- he 'll think it fun . Yes , Marshall 's shaved off his beard at last and cut his hair . His party is in , you know . I did n't know him myself first time I saw him .

Marshall just got up and walked out -- he did n't cheer or shout -- he left the others to do that , and they nearly lifted the roof off Carter 's store , I reckon . Of course , all the Tories were over in Raymond Russell 's store . Not much cheering THERE .
