"Wasn't he here yesterday?"
"Only for a little while. Do you want to see him?"

"I hadn't heard that he wanted to sell it, but I reckon he'd be glad enough to."
"'Tain't paying very well, I reckon?"
"Not first-rate; but if a man had a little capital, and would make it a little more attractive, it could be made to pay first-class."
"That's exactly what I think. I've got an idea or two that I believe can be made to work here, and pay big."
