Yes, this house stands on the line. Where you sit, you are in Tennessee; I'm in North Carolina.

Do you live here?

Law, no; I'm just staying a little while at the colonel's. I live over the mountain here, three miles from Taylorsville. I thought I'd be where I could step into North Carolina easy.

How's that?
human
Well, they wanted me to go before the grand jury and testify about some pistol-shooting down by our house, some friends of mine got into a little difficulty,--and I did n't want to. I never has no difficulty with nobody, never says nothing about nobody, has nothing against nobody, and I reckon nobody has nothing against me.

Did you come alone?
human
Why, of course. I come across the mountain by a path through the woods. That's nothing.
