"What did you mean by that?"
"Why just that the job had been talked about."
"What job?"
"Why this job."
"What job? Tell the jury what job."

"Tell them what job you mean—never mind what they know."
"'Deed thin, you're bothering me so entirely with yer jobs, I don't rightly know myself which I'm maning."
"Think a little then, for you must tell them; you said the job had been talked over; what was it that had been talked over?"
