“Tom, you’re the darnedest obstinate cuss I ever saw in my life. You’ll tip over backwards first thing you know.”

“Nick, if Emerson was here it would sure be his judgment that we-all can get to the top of this cliff. So you shut up and go on.”

“I tell you I won’t do it till you go back! Darn your skin, I wouldn’t be as pig-headed as you are for a hundred dollars a minute!”

“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!”
