I'd got so used to his stayin' where I put him 't I don't know 's I c'd ever get used to a man 's could get about.

'N' all the time there was all them nice gover'ment bonds savin' up for me in his desk!
"It isn't the law, and in this country it's the law that counts. It's the Gover'ment's right to attend to that drunken dago that threw the horseshoe, and we've got to let the Gover'ment do it. No lynching on my plate, thank you. If Ingolby could speak to us, you can bet your boots it's what he'd say."
