Beatty Balestier lived across the drive. Beatty told him to retract those Goddamned lies youve been telling about me. He told him he had a week to apologize or hed punch the Goddamned soul out of him., Kipling went to his lawyer and had Beatty arrested and charged with assault three days later. A feud with his brother-in-law drove the Kiplings from Vermont in 1896. Kiplings home sleeps 8 people comfortably.
