I'm so built that I can't shirk when my conscience tells me I shouldn't, that's all.

I'm kind of tired to-night, and I guess you are.

To-morrow mornin', if it's agreeable to all hands, we will have a little business talk.

I'll have to see Lawyer Graves pretty soon, and have a gen'ral look at your pa's affairs.

Then, if everything is all right and I feel my duty's done, I'll probably go back to the Cape and leave you to him, or somebody else able to look out for you.
