I ain't everybody, and I can't stand it. It's awful to be tied up so. And grub comes too easy – I don't take no interest in vittles, that way. {…} Looky-here, Tom, being rich ain't what it's cracked out to be. It's just worry and worry, and sweat and sweat, and a-wishing you was dead all the time. {…} now you just take my sheer of it along with your'n, and gimme a ten-center sometimes – not many times, becuz I don't give a dern for a thing 'thout it's tollable hard to git. {…} No, Tom, I won't be rich, and I won't live in them cussed smothery houses. I like the woods, and the river, and hogsheads, and I'll stick to 'em, too.
