Set us well.

Well, I reckon it is kind of a company meal.

Now leave us, Wood.

You mean board with us?

Who's going to board with us?

Aye, Ginger Granny, I think we got her all spick and span for the company.

Is somebody coming to live with us, Uncle Jed?

Yeah, I think she kind of likes us, too.

Why don't you throw us both down the well together?

Her name's Marie, and he'd like us to take her and Mr. Butler.

Oh, and Granny, can we have some of that salted down possum belly that Ma sent us?

Well, he really belongs to my wife's family, but he's been with us ever since we were married.

And I think Mr. Drysdale has a lot of gall to ask us to take his wife's kinfolks off his hands.

Well, I still say that I think Mr. Drysdale has a lot of nerve to ask us to board his wife's relation.

Now, it's an almighty pleasure to have you come and stay with us, and as long as you behave yourself, won't be no trouble.
