I never was welded, but after I'd given my word, I stuck to it, even though your pa was dreadful aggravatin' sometimes.
I guess my own mind has lately got to dwelling too insistent on trivial things, for a laboring man. . . . He's taking her back her horse real broke up and sorrowful like over the prospect of seein' her again so soon, too, now wasn't he? And me me sympathizin' with him!
