In the Village.

The Visitor—They tell me your grandfather is a famous horse trader? The Native —Yep, gran’dad knows hosses sure enough. He’s been swappin’ ’em for fifty years. There ain’t no trick in th’ business that he ain’t up to. The Visitor—l suppose it is a pretty tricky business. He has to be careful, no doubt. The Native—-He’s careful, all right. He never trades with ministers. The Visitor—Doesn’t, eh? The Native—Nope. Couple o’ 'em stung him once.
