Explore "Tom Grogan" by Francis Hopkinson Smith on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When Judge Bowker entered his office adjoining the village bank, Justice Rowan had already arrived. So had McGaw, Dempsey, Crimmins, Quigg, the president of the board, and one or two of the trustees. The judge had sent for McGaw and the president, and they had notified the others.
McGaw sat next to Dempsey. His extreme nervousness of a few days ago -- starting almost at the sound of his own footstep -- had given place to a certain air of bravado, now that everybody in the village believed the horse had kicked Tom.
