"No," said the man coolly, "I don't know 's I want to renew it fer any pertic'ler time, an' I guess it c'n run along fer a while jest as 't is." John looked at Dick Larrabee.

"How could ye," David broke in, "When I as good as told ye I was cal'latin' to rob the old lady? He, he, he, he! Scat my !

Was you cal'latin' to make a BARGAIN with him?" "No, no, course not. But there ain't any sense in heavin' money away on a parson more'n on anybody else."

He's lovesick, that's what's the matter with him. All he can talk about is somebody's gettin' married. Are YOU cal'latin' to get married, Isaiah?" "Me? What kind of fool talk is that?" "Who's the lucky woman?" "There ain't no lucky woman. Don't talk so ridic'lous! All I said was that when Mary-'Gusta was old and married and had " "There you go again! Married and children!
