Of. said, l don't care, anybody but -;

make a thousand dollars if ours would make
up enough to beat him. / told them | had

his lot to kill him.
/ persuaded him to go over back with me to
the Orleans and we sat on a sofa there, and
talked with him long time / told him he
about his mother, and at that he began to cry
