They were independent and respected by their neighbours ; they loved each other in a marriageable sort of way, and few couples had altogether more the appearance of comfort about them. Larry was a hard working, and, occasionally, a hard drinking, Dutch-built, little man, ^with a fiddle head and a round stern; a steady-going straight-forward fellow, barring when he carried t...oo much whiskey, which, it must be confessed, might occasionally prevent his walking the chalked line with perfect philomath ical accuracy.
