I dont want to hurt anybodys feelings, mrs. Lerner, but charvanaugh herell understand. Youre my responsibility. I dont want somebody whos a complete stranger to join up with us.

How long you been packing those hides, charvanaugh . Well, i cant really say. Quite a spell, i guess. blows did you ever sell any of them . Well, now, i could hardly say that i did. What makes you think youll sell em when you get to brandenton . Oh, just hope. Thats all. Hope. Old man like me with nobody else in the world. Just selling that wagonload of hides well. It was awfully good, maam. Mm real good. Now, you just stay here for just a minute. I want to show my appreciation for what you did for me. Then ill be on my way. Now, dont move. Ill be right back. Ard to tell. You know, theres something about him that just doesnt set right with me. Youre too suspicious. Hes just a harmless old man, wandering around all by himself, trying to sell those awful hides. Yeah, thats what bothers me hes too harmless and hes too lonely. Besides, nobody in his right mind would try to keep his faith up with that worthless mess of skins. Well, you heard what he said. Theyre all he has. You know, a man named carlyle once wrote, theres so much good in the worst of us that it ill behooves any of us to find fault with the rest of us. I believe that.
