"You bet I do."
"Now, another subject: Have you ever traveled away from here? Have you ever been to New York, for instance?"
"Never in my life. I've always lived right around here. I don't suppose I have been ten miles away from here, except in the woods, in forty years. But in the woods I sometimes used to go a good ways."
"I've no doubt of that. How would you like to make a visit to New York?"
"I should like it very much—only it would cost such a lot, you know."
"Suppose your expenses were paid?"
"Well, that would be different."
"How much, in cash, will you take for your whiskers, Mr. Turner?"
"Now what the devil do you mean by that? Are you making fun of me?"
"Not at all. I was wondering if fifty dollars more, down, would induce you to shave off your whiskers."
