—Why sure not! Did you think I was? There wouldn’t be any sense. One of us is enough to run this little place.

I’d have taken it on the spot, only I couldn’t leave Uncle Dick in the lurch, and I’d promised you folks to come home. But I’m going back there very soon, you bet, and then you watch me get on!
