you sleepy, pappy? you want to have a nap?
i'm worried about tom. it's getting dark. he should have been home.
he was a neighbor's boy. they were poor folks. both died. i couldn't have any children, so.  he's a good boy.
oh, there isn't very much to tell about me.
i was teaching school and one day a pupil walked in. it was willie. i couldn't have a grown man in the class and willie wanted to learn so badly.  so i married him.
except that i loved him.
a couple of weeks ago. i'd been teaching for a long time and nobody ever said i wasn't all right. but i don't care. i don't want to teach in a schoolhouse that they built just so somebody can steal some money. and willie doesn't want to be treasurer, either, if he has to associate with those dishonest people.
i don't care if willie loses.  just so he gets the truth to the people. isn't that true, willie?
isn't it, willie?
well, if you lose you can give a little more time to studying your law books.
what happened, tommy boy? what's the matter?
let him tell it his own way. go on, tommy.
let him wash up first.
a breach.
of an agreement.
to sell personal property.
oh, go on, willie, go on.
willie, mr. hale's here to see you.
i'll get him.
no, he won't be all right unless you make him all right. i'll get him.
tommy.  tommy.  tommy!
sit down, willie. please sit down.
what difference does that make now?
yes.  i want you to operate. please, may i see tom now?
i made some refreshments for your friends. i'll get them.
no, thank you. thank you kindly.
why?
she can be a witness too.
willie!
willie, stop.
what do you think it cost him?
willie! tom.  tom.
