“Well, I wouldn’t be as big a fool as you are for a thousand!”
“Tommy, if you-all don’t go back, I’ll be no friend of yours after this day!”
“Well, if you don’t go on and shut up that fool talk I don’t want to be friends any longer with any such hen-headed, white-livered—”
“Tom!”
“Well, then, shut up and go on, or I’ll call you worse names than that!”
