He as much as offered a thousand dollars for that land. My crimps! a thousand! think of that! I presume likely you wouldn't take that, would you, Ros ?" "Sim, I'll tell you, as I told Captain Jed, that land is not for sale." I tried to make that statement firm and sharp enough to penetrate even his wooden head; but he merely winked again. I guess perhaps you're correct in hangin' on. |
