Now I don't want any more talk with you.

This is most folks' praying-time; I wonder you're not at it.

It's _my_ time for writing letters, and I'd rather have your room than your company.

I'm a plain-spoken man, you see, a man of business, and I don't mince matters.

To come and dictate to me about the state of my houses and of my tenants ain't a business-like proceeding, and you'll excuse me if I don't take it kindly.
