"So I cleared out and went to the other end of the market. In half an hour I came back. 'Haven't you gone yet?' I asked laughing."
"'Come,' says he, 'I can't wait here. I'll sell dirt cheap.'"
"So I said again, 'I'll give you a dollar and a half for those I've picked out.'"
"'I aren't quite a fool yet,' he answered growling. 'I 'spose you think I haven't cut my eye teeth.'"
"I went back into the market out of the rain; but I didn't look for a turkey. I knew the man would let me have 'em if I waited long enough. When I went back again I saw him standing in his pung waiting for me.
"'Boy! boy!' he shouted, 'Here! This way a minute.'"
"I didn't hurry much."
"'I shall freeze and so will my horse,' he said growling again."
"'You may have the lot for a dollar and a half.'"
"'I've concluded not to give so much now,' I told him. 'I'll pay you a dollar for 'em.'"
