I'd go crazy," he confessed in a sudden burst of frankness, and beaming upon Gideon; "I'd as soon be shut in jail." "Or anything else you might think of," said Gideon, cordially, "not necessarily in this town." "Well, I'd rather not; I guess I'm not one to have responsibilities; I wouldn't have an easy minute spending your money.

I wouldn't ever be able to feel free with it, not the way I feel with my own.

I guess I just better kind of go my own way; I like to work when I want to and stop when I want to, and no one having any right to ask me what I quit for and why don't I keep on and make something of myself.

I guess it's no good your trying to help me in any way.

Of course I appreciate it and all that.
