This woman here's got a girl herself that hasn't drawed a well breath for six months, an' her man's been idle all winter, an' only just now got a job at Schwartz's, tending gate. Now, what'll I do?

Aunt Martha was so rattled over this unexpected effort on Mr. Schwartz's part that she upset her coffee and Ikey got most of it in the back of the neck.
I fainted, out there and, when I came to myself, I tried to open the gates and I called, and called, and nobody heard me." Schwartz's sense of humor was tickled by this.
