"Will you come over to the gulch?"
"It will take two days of my time, and just now my time is rather valuable."
"I know it is, sir, but we are willing to pay what is right."
"I couldn't undertake such a trip for less than a hundred dollars."
"Will you furnish the medicine?"
"Certainly, I'll take my medicine case with me on horseback. You came on horseback, didn't you?"
"I came on my mule. He is just as good as a horse, for mountain climbing!"
"I believe you. Want me to come at once, I presume."
"We can't go till to-morrow very well. The trail isn't safe in the dark."
"All right, we can start first thing in the morning, then. I'll go around and see my present patients to-night. I suppose you know my terms."
