Why, they can't get along with each other! Then there's Joe McCaskey to think of. Why run into trouble?" "I've thought of all that. But Big Lars is on the crest of his wave; he has the Midas touch; everything he lays his hands on turns to gold. He believes in Hunker " "I'll find out if he does," Laure said, quickly.
