He seen the doctor and me as the hearse went by our corner, but he never let on.

A couple of hours later Looey comes into camp and says he is going to quit.
The doctor asts him if he has inherited money.
"No," says Looey, "but my aunt has given me a chancet to go into business." Looey says he was born nigh there, and was prowling around town the day before and run acrost an old aunt of his'n he had forgot all about.
She is awful respectable and religious and ashamed of him being into a travelling show.

And she has offered to lend him enough to buy a half-share in a business.
"Well," says the doctor, "I hope it will be something you are fitted for and will enjoy.

But I've noticed that after a man gets the habit of roaming around this terrestial ball it's mighty hard to settle down and watch his vine and fig tree grow." Looey smiles in a sad sort of a way, which he seldom smiled fur anything, and says he guesses he'll like the business.

He says they ain't many businesses he could take to.
