Jury-Law books

Yep. Ain't much chance of mistaking me," the woman said,
still staring at Louise. "Humph! you're pretty 'nough not to need
m'lasses to ketch flies. Why didn't Cap'n Abe stay to home when you
come visiting him?"
"Why, he had his plans all laid to go away, if Uncle Amazon came."
"Ya-as. That's so. You are _his_ niece, too, I s'pose."
"Whose niece? Uncle Amazon's? I suppose I am," Louise gayly replied,
"though when I came I had no idea there was a second uncle down here on
the Cape."
"What's that?" demanded Betty Gallup, her speech crackling like a rifle
shot.
"I had not heard before of Cap'n Amazon," the girl explained. "You
see, for several reasons, I have known very little about my mother's
kinfolk. She died when I was a baby. We have traveled a good deal,
father and I."
"I see. I been told you worked for them movin' pictures. Mandy Card
was over to my house last night. Well! what do you think of your
Uncle Am'zon?"
"I can express no opinion until I have met him," Louise returned, again
dimpling.
