192 What you want to shoot him for? Ain't Ah already compermised?

Compermised! What good will it do to compermise? You compermised about Joe and didn't get nothin' out o' that, did yuh?

Your fool daddy done that! Ah'll get somethin' out o' this!

What you think you goin' to get?

Ah made Ben Carter give his word to educate you and Ruth, and Ben Carter always keeps his word.

You won't edjercate me with any o' his money! Ah won't have it!

Why won't you?

Ah just won't, that's all!

Ah'll see that you will! Ah know Ah ain't wasted all ma breath on Ben Carter for nothin'!

He ain't goin' to give you nothin', nohow. Not after what Ah done to Jack!
