He smiled slowly. "It would do nicely, wouldn't it?" "Oh, yes, splendidly. Five thousand acres! That would be an acre apiece for every man, woman and child in the whole district.

We broke into a house together, so as to be equal about it; and the grocer owed the old man money he'd worked for it and they meant to cheat him out of it.
