"Sponging off a woman!"
"'Sponging'! With our own little farm and us farming it to pay it off! I like that!"
"Gimme a swig, Teenie. For God's sake gimme a swig!"
"Jas—Jas, if you get to cutting up again, I'm going to get me a man-nurse out here—honest I am!"
"A swig, Teenie."
"Please, Jas—it's only for bad spells—five drops mixed up in your medicine. That's six dollars a bottle, Jas, and only for bad spells."
"Stingy gut!"
"Looka down there, honey—there's old man Wyncoop's cow broke tether again. What you bet he's out looking for her. See her winding up the road."
"Stingy gut!"
"You know I ain't stingy. If the doctor didn't forbid, I'd buy you ten bottles, I would, if it cost twenty a bottle. I'm trying to do what the doctor says is best, Jas."
