:34:01
Ain't no
changing it.
:34:02
Well, i'm a-going to
change it.
:34:05
I'm a-going to get us
a piece of bottom land.
:34:09
Your pa set out
to get hisself
:34:11
a piece
of bottom land once.
:34:14
Nary a man
ever tried harder.
:34:18
Like to kill hisself
trying.
:34:23
Was a long time
'fore he give up,
:34:27
but he had to
in the end.
:34:30
Well, i ain't
a-setting myself up
:34:32
as a better man
than pa.
:34:34
I reckon i ain't
half as good.
:34:36
But i'm a-knowing
where there's a piece
:34:39
of bottom land
to be had,
:34:41
and i'm
a-going to get it.
:34:45
Maybe you will.
:34:53
How old you say
this here mule be?
:34:55
9 year,
but abraham's sound. Yes, he are.
:34:59
He's kind of
pussle-gutted, it appears to me.
:35:02
Nary a bit.
:35:03
He's just mighty
well-fed, that's all.
:35:06
Well, i reckon
i might allow you $30 on him.
:35:10
$30?
:35:12
Yes.
:35:13
You say $30?
:35:14
Well, he's worth 40
if he's worth a cent.
:35:17
Then he ain't
worth a cent.
:35:19
What's all this here
you got?
:35:21
Well, there's
two dozen pullets.
:35:23
$6.00.
:35:24
Well, that's
25 cents apiece.
:35:27
They're worth
twice that much.
:35:29
Not to me,
they ain't.
:35:31
What are these?
:35:32
Them's prime
winter pelts, mr. Tomkins.
:35:34
Mighty poor.
They won't fetch much.
:35:36
I might allow you
a dollar and a half apiece on them.
:35:40
Well, i can get
$3.00 apiece for them in jimtown.
:35:44
It's quite a ways
to jimtown.
:35:46
Let's see now.
That's $40.50.
:35:49
What else you got?
:35:50
Well, there's two sacks
of rabbit skins,
:35:52
this here clock,
and a sack of goose feathers.
:35:57
Well...
:35:59
i tell you, alvin,
i'll give you 50 united states dollars
