"I dare say I should be just as happy with a silver watch, Lem."
"I suppose you wouldn't like to buy, would you? If so, I'll give you the chance. A fair exchange is no robbery."
"No, I suppose not; but it wouldn't do to exchange a gift."
"Perhaps, if my watch were gold and yours silver, you wouldn't have any objections."
"I don't think that would alter the case with me. A gift is a gift, whether it is more or less valuable."
"How long have you had your watch, Walter?"
"Ever since my thirteenth birthday."
"I have had mine a year. I broke the crystal and one of the hands the very first day."
"That was pretty hard usage, Lem."
