"Do you think you can raise her?"
"I know we can."
"Well, I heard all about her up in the village, and I have come home to help you. I know all about steamboats, you know."
"What did you leave your place for?"
"The captain and I couldn't agree. I'm going to run an opposition line."
"Are you?"
"I am; bet your life I am."
"Where will you get your boats?"
"Don't want but one; and they say your boat is the finest little craft that ever floated on the lake."
"She is, without a doubt."
