Lon. An' I want it. I'm older 'an yuh.
Seth. I got the best claim t' it.
Lon. Yuh ain't. We with three mouths t' feed. Yer a swindler, yuh are. Yuh always tried t' cheat me.
Seth. No one kin say that t' me. I'm an honest man. But I'm a goin' 't heve the two acres if I heve t' go t' law.
Lon. Wall, yuh ain't a goin' t' wreck me.
Seth [calmly; philosophically again]. Maybe yer right, Lon, when yuh say I ought t' have a roof. I'll tell yuh what I'll do, seein' as how yer my brother. Yuh give me the ground an' the house on it, an' I'll make yuh a present o' twenty-five dollars.
Lon. That's a lie! Yuh ain't got twenty-five dollars t' yer name.
Seth. Yuh think so.
Lon. Every one in these parts knows yuh owes Hawkins forty-three dollars an twenty-nine cents he kin't collect. Give me the house an' ground, an' I'll give yuh my own house an' my note fur twenty-five dollars.
Seth. Yer note! I'm a goin' t' heve Pa's old place.
