'Second mate of a banana steamer told me the natives were panning out enough from the beach sands to buy all the rum, red calico, and parlour melodeons in the world.
When Santa Fé come to see faro-banking for melodeons wasn't money-making, he passed out word to the Hen to start up her part of the circus and in the Hen come, looking real pretty in her white frock, and put her hand on his shoulder married-like and says: "Now, my dear, it isn't fair for you gentlemen to keep us ladies waiting another minute longer. We want our share in the evening's amusement.
It was just lovely of you to give them all those goods out of your store to make up into clothes." "That that wasn't anything to do," Hart said. "What's in the store comes with a big discount same as melodeons. Sometimes I feel as if I was saving money giving things away."

They've got the schoolhouse, and the English language, and a free paid labor system, and the railroads, and painted wagons, and Cincinnati furniture, and sewing-machines, and melodeons, and Horsford's Acid Phosphate; and they've caught the spirit of progress!" "Yass, 'tis so. Dawn't see nobody seem satisfied since de army since de railroad."
The little man took it all dreamy saying kind of to himself he'd never in all his born days expected to see a minister making money for Sunday-school melodeons by running a faro-bank.
