'Wal, now, I'm real glad to heer yo say sich things, Davy, lad, said Reuben, with a curious flutter of manner. 'I'm real glad. So yo take to the farmin, Davy? Wal, it's nateral. All yor forbears all on em leastways, nobbut yor feyther got their livin off t' land. It cooms nateral to a Grieve. The boy made no answer did not commit himself in any way. He went on absently throwing stones.

Fust along, Jubal was able to do a little farmin' and so on, and we got along pretty well, but by and by he got so he wa'n't able to work, and then 'twas harder. What little we'd saved went for doctor's bills and this, that, and t'other.
