When Ah asked you a while ago you said there wasn't nothin' between Annie and Jack.

Ah didn't know it then.

How'd you like to go away to school?

Ah'd sure be glad to.

Ah'm goin' to see if Ah can't send you away.

How you goin' to send me away, poor as we is.

That's all right, Ah'm goin' to find a way. Ah'm goin' to find a way for you and Alec both to go.

How about Annie?

Ah reckon Annie'll stay home with me.

Where you been with that gun?

Ah went out fer Jack Carter, an' Ben Carter, too. Who's been foolin' with this gun?
