"Look here, Henry Brimstead, are you a drinking man? Honor bright now."
"Never drink a thing but water and tea."
"Do you know of anybody who'll give ye anything for what you own here?"
"There's a man in the next town who offered me three hundred and fifty dollars for my interest."
"How far is it?"
"Three miles."
"Come along with us and get the money if you can. I'll help ye fit up and go where ye can earn a living."
"I'd like to, but my horse is lame and I can't leave the children."
"Put 'em right in this wagon and come on. If there's a livery in the place, I'll send ye home."
