Uncle's got a whole raft of books, and you can read to me when you get tired of reading to yourself.

I've gone to school a good deal, but I'm not much of a hand with a book; but I tell you what I believe--I believe I could run a business to the queen's taste if I had a chance, and I'm going to try it one of these days.

Uncle tells me that after awhile I may be worth some money, and if I am I'll get rich as sure as you're born.

Business was born in me, but I've never had a chance to do anything, I have traded around a little, and I've made some money, too, but the trouble is that I've never been settled down long enough to do much of anything, I've scarcely any chance at all out at Ulmata.
