grogan'll

Maybe I oughtn't tell ye, I've niver told anybody, but whin my Tom lay sick upstairs, McGaw come in one night, an' his own wife half dead with a blow he had given her, an' sat down in this very room, it was our kitchen then, an' he says, If your man don't git well, ye'll be broke. An' I says to him, 'Dan McGaw, if I live twelve months, Tom Grogan'll be a richer man than he is now. I was a-sittin' right here when I said it, wid a rag carpet on this floor, an' hardly any furniture in the room.
