Daisy. Yes, you will, for maybe there'll be some money in it for you.

Pete. (eagerly) What am it?

Daisy. Did you find a watch charm or a packet of letters anywhere in the house this morning?

Pete. (sulkily) No, I didn't, and mighty little good would it do yo' if I did. (gently draws at cigar)

Daisy. Mr. Wheeler lost a charm and some letters here last night, and he told me this morning that he would give me ten dollars if I found and returned them to him. Now, if you have found them I'll give you five dollars for them.

Pete. (straightening up in chair) Let me see if I 'stand yo' right. Mr. Wheeler lost a charm an' some letters?

Daisy. Yes.

Pete. An' he offered ten dollars to hab dem returned?

Daisy. Yes.

Pete. If I finds dem an' gibs dem to yo' I'se to git five dollars?
