Mr. Hubert. What was his mood, was he sad or glad?

Mr. Branch. What do you mean—Mr. Ruby?

Mr. Hubert. Yes.

Mr. Branch. You can’t never tell about him—he’s a weird person.

Mr. Hubert. How did he seem that night?

Mr. Branch. He’s always in a hurry. He’s fidgety, you know, he talks fast.

Mr. Hubert. Did he seem to be crying, grieving, gay, happy, or what?

Mr. Branch. He wasn’t too happy—he wasn’t too happy.

Mr. Hubert. What makes you believe that?

Mr. Branch. Because he will take time and set down, but this time he was—he just wanted to know for sure if she’s going to have a pianoplayer—get his sister a pianoplayer out there because they was disgusted with the pianoplayer they had.
