I might have saved more, but I've been laid up winters considerable with grippe, and folks don't like to be shaved by a grippy barber.

Dunno's I blame 'em.

I've had to hire, and hirin' comes high.

I've had considerable to do for a widder with four children, too--she's my brother's widder--an', take it all together, I 'ain't been able to save another dollar.

But that don't make no odds, as long as I'm going to double it in that stock of yourn.
