That can't be it, can it?
gpt
Oh, no! said Mr. March;
human
This isn't Garland's, is it?
gpt
Be you the folks that's comin' to live to Garland's?
human
Yes, said the Deacon;
gpt
Oh, Lor', no, laughed the man.
human
This ain't Garland's; his place's two mile farther on. That ain't no great shakes of a place, either,--Garland's ain't; but he's got more land'n we have. There ain't land enough here to raise a ground mole in. I'm sick on 't.
gpt
You don't get daylight enough to raise any thing, for that matter, said Mr. March;
human
I know it, said the man;
gpt
Not much, said Mr. March.
human
We are only trying an experiment here: we have bought all Garland's cows.
gpt
Have ye? said the man.
human
Well, Garland had some first-rate cattle; but they're pretty well peaked out now. Cattle gets dreadful poor here, along in March and April: ye'd reelly pity 'em. But it's amazin' how they pick up's soon's the grass comes in June. It don't seem to hurt 'em none to be kinder starved all winter. Come and see us: we're neighborly folks out'n this country. My wife she'll be glad to know there's some wimmen folks in the Pass. She's been the only woman here for a year. Garland he bached it: he hadn't no wife.
