I was all right for awhile, and then I got ten thousand dollars, and it seemed a lot of money.

I bought a fellow out--he had a ranch and a few head of horses--so he could take his wife back East to her mother.
She was sick.

I didn't want the darned ranch.

And so help me, Ches, that's the only thing I've done in the last four years that I hadn't ought to be ashamed of.

The rest of the money I just simply blew.
I--well, you see me; you didn't want to take me up to the house to meet your wife, and I don't blame you.
