"You'd run sheep till you was bent and gray, and the rheumatiz' got set in your j'ints, me gerrel, before you'd win to the half of half a million.

"So, then, you're actually in charge of the mine?" said Martin, in surprise. "Jist so, boy; but I'm tired of it already; it's by no means so pleasant as I expected it would be; so I'm thinkin' o' lavin' it, and takin' to the say again. I'm longin' dreadful to see the salt wather wance more." "But what will the owner say, Barney: won't he have cause to complain of your breaking your engagement?"
