You had encouraged him at first ; but then you got frightened ; he beat you -- hear that ? -- struck you with his fist , and threatened worse if you did n't go through old Penny 's pocket for him . He even hinted at something you might do together , and then get away with a mint . Culser was at it when Mr. Penny called , and took it up when he left , at about six o'clock . He said he wanted money bad , debts were hounding him ; and he was going to get it out of Penny , out of you . There 's where you said you would warn Jasper Penny ; and remember how he struck you , in the back , because you turned , and it hurts yet -- there up by the left shoulder , the left shoulder , the left ! Then , he had been drinking in your house and at a tavern , he threatened to kill you if you did n't do what he wanted .
