“You’ll have to give us a l-l-little time.”
“That’s about all I been givin’ for a spell back. Can’t figger to buy no groceries with time.”
“We will pay this,” says Mark, “just as s-s-soon as we kin. You won’t l-lose a cent. How much t-time will you be willing to give us?”
“Fifteen minutes,” says old-man Fugle.
“What’s your hurry now? A few days won’t make any difference.”
“Won’t, eh? How d’you know? Guess maybe I know my own business.”
“Will you give us a week?”
“No.”
“Give us till next Wednesday?”
