Perhaps some timid pedestrian mayhave chanced to peep into the valley from the old mud road and witnessed thissight; and then spread, or indeed stretched the bad news to the good village as Bill was very seldom disturbed he had a little government all hisown. wherein he did not levy upon himself any revenue for his six-year-old puremalt.
