The Trail of the Lonesome Pine Page #4

A what?

Skip it.

I'll take a chance.

This way. It's shorter.

Love is everywhere

Its music fills the air

You gonna

talk to me now?

Not a chance. Not even if your

father signed 40 contracts.

I'm just as stubborn

as you are, young lady.

And not word you get out of

me until you've apologized.

I didn't do nothing.

You didn't do nothing?

What do you call nothing?

You were going to spit in my

eyes. You stomped on my foot.

And when I tried to teach Buddie

his ABCs, you laughed at me.

And you call that

nothing?

Oh, my!

What a nice pretty.

Where'd you get it?

It's just a...

Can I have it?

Why...

I can?

Well, ain't that sweet?

What do you say

to apologize?

Just say, "Mr. Hale, I regret

exceedingly my unfortunate error."

Them's hard words.

All right.

Say it your own way.

I regret.

You regret what?

I'm apologizing.

All right. What do

you wanna talk about?

Don't make no difference.

All right.

Let's talk about you.

I'd like that.

Well, some day very soon now,

your father will have money,

and you'll be

married to Dave.

And what a lucky girl

you are.

And all this

around here will be...

Well, maybe over there

will be a big house

and with a lawn

way down to here, and...

Did you ever see

a grasshopper real close?

Have him spit in my eye?

Not me.

You see that little yellow spot on its leg?

Well, if you touch it,

you know what will happen?

No. I give up. What?

Its leg will pop off.

You little savage.

Am I?

Yes, you are. And when I

see Dave, I'm gonna tell him.

Let's walk. It's a mite near a mile here.

A mile?

I thought you said

this was a shortcut.

Did I?

"Its successors

and assigns forever,

"all mines, veins,

seams and beds of coal

"and all other minerals

whatsoever already found

"or which may

hereafter be found

"upon or under all that certain

tract, piece or parcel of land

"situate, lying

and being in the..."

Slow down, man.

Them squirrel tracks and chicken

scratches don't mean nothing to me.

You trying to tell me

and Judd your coal

won't be disruptious

to our corn?

Is that what

you're trying to tell us?

That's right.

And we get quite

a toting of money?

$5,000 in 30 days and a percentage

of the company's earnings.

What's that percentage?

It's like pigs, Pappy. You get one

out of six for taking care of them.

Oh! Figures sensible.

Mr. Hale, is this the kind of

steam shovel you told me about?

Yes, but you look

in the back, Buddie,

and you'll find

a great big one.

I'll give...

Dave says it's sensible.

I guess it's sensible.

But there's

one thing eating me.

What's that,

Mr. Tolliver?

Is there no other way

for you to build

your railroad
