saw who it was clinging to the bar counter, Jim first stared and
then burst into a hoarse roar of laughter.

'Coom here! coom here!' he shouted to the party in the back parlour.
'Here's a rum start! I do declare this beats cock-fighting!--this do.
Damn my eyes iv it doosn't! Look at that yoong limb. Why they towd me
down at Clough End this mornin he'd been took "serious" --took wi a

to know his yed from his heels. He! he! he! Yo're a deep un, Davy--yo
are. But yo'll get a bastin when Hannah sees yo--prayin or no prayin.'

And Jim went off into another guffaw, pointing his whip the while
at Davy. Some persons from the parlour crowded in, enjoying the
fun. David did not see them. He reached out his hand for the glass
he had just emptied, and steadying himself by a mighty effort,
flung it swift and straight in Jim Wigson's face. There was a crash
of fragments, a line of blood appeared on the young carter's chin,
and a chorus of wrath and alarm rose from the group behind him.
With a furious oath Jim placed a hand on the bar, vaulted it, and
fell upon the lad. David defended himself blindly, but he was dazed
with drink, and his blows and kicks rained aimlessly on Wigson's
iron frame. In a second or two Jim had tripped him up, and stood
over him, his face ablaze with vengeance and conquest.

'Yo yoong varmint--yo cantin yoong hypocrite! I'll teach yo to show
imperence to your betters. Yo bin allus badly i' want o' soombody

but I'll flog yo--_flog yo_--d' yo hear?'

And raising his carter's whip he brought it down on the boy's back
and legs. David tried desperately to

 saw who it was clinging to the bar counterpunch, Jim foremost stared and 
 then burst into a gruff roar of laugh. 

' Coom here! coom here!' he shouted to the party in the back living room. 
' Here's a rummy start! I do declare this beats cock - fighting!--this do.

 And Jim went off into another guffaw, pointing his whip the while 
 at Davy. Some persons from the parlor crowded in, enjoying the 
 fun. David did not see them. He reached out his bridge player for the glass 
 he had just emptied, and steadying himself by a mighty effort, 
 flung it swift and straight in Jim Wigson's face. There was a crash
