We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Eben. — (Off a little) This way, doctor. Follow the lantern.
Zeke. — ( Ruminatingly ) Mischief’s happened, that’s what. Enough to last these parts a good long while and a day.
Doctor. — I don’t like this. I don’t like it at all !
Zeke. — Can’t say we like it better’n you do. What must be, must. There’s no changin’ or goin’ back, and all’s left is the wishin’ things were different.
Doctor. — There’s been gunplay!
Zeke. — (Mildly bitter ) Ye’r tellin’ us they’s been gunplay.
Doctor.— And I’m telling you that I’m not at all frightened. It’s my duty to report this. And report it I will!
Zeke. — (Casually sardonic ) Aye, mister. You do that.
Doctor. — You’re arrogant about it now, yes! You don’t think you’ll be caught and dealt with. But people are losing patience with you men, you— you — moonshiners! Running wild, shooting up the countryside!
Zeke. — (Up) Hear what he says, Eben, moonshiners!
Eben. — (Off) Here we are. (Pause . . . on) And there’s yer man, doctor.
Zeke.— (Anxiously) He ain’t stirred since we left ’im.
Doctor. — All right, let’s have that light, will you? (Pause) Closer. So.
Eben. — Like this?
Doctor.— Yes. That’s good. Now help me with his shirt. No, no, don’t take it off; just tear it. Yes . . .
Sound. — Ripping of cloth, close on-mike.
Doctor. — That’s good. Now bring that lantern still closer and . . . (Deep breath . . . low) Dreadful, dreadful!
Zeke. — Reckon it’s bad in the chest like that, heh?
Doctor. — His pulse is positively racing! How long has he been like this?
Zeke. — A long time, mister. A long time.
