难道只有十二个月的时间，我在装傻吗?你确定这是对的吗，亲爱的妈妈?我很高兴听到你来这儿，因为我想，自从离开楼下那间小房子，我和我自己的两只手已经有二十年了，我要去那个美丽的地方，去那里——我的上帝!我疯了!亲爱的，你知道我们不是很富有，但我们才刚刚开始生活!如果我20岁，你18岁，当我把你带回家的时候，我的妻子，我们遇到了许多烦恼和麻烦，其中一些并不小，但不久他们就会把我们带走，因为我们工作，不会忘记他们。你也救了那个女人，这里没有人打败你!我笑了，当我想到你去了三河银行还了钱，你知道我们欠了多少钱，为了那个新地方，他说了什么，那个漂亮的年轻人面带微笑，当他得到那笔钱的时候，那都是纯黄金，给你的家人一年或更久?“夫人，你是在原谅我吧，但是你是从哪儿弄到这枚漂亮的路易斯·奎托兹金币的?这枚金币的背面是他的脸，而且很漂亮。”因为他们现在是一个大案子，夫人?”你说:“那根本不可能，先生，我的家人让他们去的，我想那是很久以前的事了，当路易斯·奎尔兹当国王的时候，我很抱歉，可怜的家伙，他死了，今天不能离开这里了。因为人应该善待他的朋友，先生，他这样做是为了赚钱。” Yass, ev 'ry wan know we 're workin' hard An' savin' too all dem year, But nobody see us starve ourse'f Dere 's plaintee to eat, don 't fear- Bimeby our chil'ren dey 're growin' up So we're doin' de bes' we can Settle dem off on de firse good chance An' geevin' dem leetle lan'.
