I'll be settin' up like a Christian in future all of us will. My soul, but Bob Morton an' Willie Spence did a good job on that boat!

Grimbal's writ you two straight, fair letters 'bout this job, so he've explained to me, an' you never so much as answered neither; so, seem' this here's a right Christian cross, ban't decent it should bide head down'ards for all time. An' Mr.
