Some folks talk a good deal for you, and to you, and don't do anything for you.

But I just came in this morning for the sole purpose of saying this: You've had a hard row to hoe, and you've worked at it first rate ever since you got out of jail.

I've been watching you, though perhaps you don't know it, and I came here to say that I believe so much in your having had a change--though I do insist you haven't gone far enough--I came around to say that I was going to buy out this place from Larry, and give it to you at your own terms, so that you can make all the money that comes in." Sam looked up in astonishment at the lawyer.

The lawyer looked down smilingly at the deacon, who was seated on a very low bench, and said,-- "Deacon, we're all a good, deal alike in this world in one respect: our best thoughts come too late.

I don't hesitate to say that some good thoughts, which I have heard you urge upon other people but which you never mentioned to me, have come to me a deal later than they should.
But, on the other hand, this matter of making Sam the master of this shop has already been attended to.
