Hello, George!
gpt
Hello! said George, reining in his horse
human
Where are you going?
gpt
Going home,
human
So you've sold the telegraph?
gpt
Yes, said Harry.
human
And I think we made a pretty good bargain. I didn't think we'd do so well when we started.
gpt
No, it didn't look like it, said George;
human
Why?
gpt
Well, suppose some of the people who own the land that the line's on, don't want these strangers to have a telegraph on their farms. What's to hinder them ordering them off?
human
They wouldn't do that, said Harry.
gpt
None of the people about here would be so mean. They'd know that it might upset our bargain. There isn't a man who would do it.
human
All right, said George.
gpt
I hope they won't. But how are you going to keep the old woman now?
human
How? said Harry.
gpt
Why, we can keep her easy enough. We got three hundred and fifty dollars from the Mica Company.
human
And how much is her share?
gpt
Over two hundred and sixty,
human
Is that all? said George.
gpt
That won't give her much income. The interest on it will only be about fifteen dollars a year, and she can't live on that.
human
But we didn't think of using only the interest,
gpt
So you're going to break in on the principal, are you? That's a poor way of doing.
human
Oh, we'll get along well enough, said Harry.
gpt
Two hundred and sixty dollars is a good deal of money. Good-by! I must get on. Come up, Selim!
human
Good-by!
