"Oh, Poleon! I'll be a fine lady, after all," she cried "just as I've dreamed about! Wasn't it beautiful, that pile of yellow grains and nuggets? Dear, dear! And part of it is mine!
He imagined this would prove a thunderbolt; but Hardy calmly asked: "How do you know that?" "Because she told me, that's how! And if only the gol darn fool would do it like I want him to " He addressed himself suddenly to his nephew, who now stood on the other side of the table: "Aw, come on. Be a good feller, won't you?"
