But mar won't let me keep nothing. Oliver a Huddle said he'd bring me
a monkey from the south seas.Where is Oliver down of your wreck,

(08:50):

I could go with Ali a Huddle, all of us. My friend I
got three friends, Oliver Paul knewI got lots of friends. Spaniards too.
Spaniards they ride by on big blackhorses. He's tall and talk and

(09:11):
they shiny helmets. There ain't nospaniards best ground here for the wing.
They all won't work an he thesehere. You listen to me the next
time you go to using cool forwater. You know that big Magnoia tree,
it's just you look behind it.He's always a Spaniard on a big
black horse riding past that mag Nulia. I guess wig does win for the

(09:35):
wing. Even you fancy you,Judy. You're glad you come this year.
Well sa That bet took off acrossthe south scrub, through the thicket,
and finally right to the edge ofJuniper Creek with the dogs caught up
with him was old Snoop and Doortarnation, which tight in there rare enough,
was it? Penny? Well?Was he this year? Don't go with

he's the sorriest bay dog I everfollowed. Got a self for aim?
Did he? No? No,not as I know. Oh, get

hind legs. Well, I pulledthe trigger and that old muzzle us sheep

backs to your liar, Why ain'tno man ever said that to me?

(10:41):
Afore lambs. Two dogs don't makea bear like old slew foot turned tail?
How come you never mentioned this yeardog? I told you to lemb
the dog is worthless. I noticedhe come out pretty good shape. A
mark on him? Is there nono marry mark on him? Take a
mighty clever dog to fight a bear, not get more scratch on him.
Extra I want that dog. WhenI want a thing, I get it

(11:03):
now. Look you hear this gun. It's made in England. No muzzle
of the needy for the own shellseasier to spit my look at it.
Sure a pretty gun, take it. Take the gun for the dog,
or bite th under the bar.Don't figure to get myself murderers. That's
the way it stands. That's theway it stands. Well, you got
to promise not to beat the puddingon me after you hunted the dog.
