Hazel: But it's hard find a thing would be suitable, unless you might dress it up again someway fresh.
Mineog: I made a thought and I searching a while ago. I was thinking it would be a very nice thing to show respect to yourself, and friendliness, putting down a short account of you and of all you have done for your family and for the town.
Hazel: That is a strange thing now! I had it in my mind to do the very same service to yourself.
Mineog: Is that so?
Hazel: Your worth and your generosity and the way you have worked the Tribune for your own and for the public good.
Mineog: And another thing. I not only thought to write it but I am after writing it.
Hazel: (Suspiciously.) You had not much time for that.
Mineog: I never was one to spare myself in anything that could benefit a friend.
Hazel: Neither would I spare myself. I have my article wrote.
Mineog: I have a mind to read my own one to you, the way you will know there is nothing in it but what is friendly and is kind.
