I offer you a bargain that has all the good on your side; and I reckoned you'd 'a' jumped at it with a whole hoss-load of thank'ees.

I offer you a gal that's the best gal in the whole eternal wood; and I reckon you may count all that this here sheepskin will bring you as jist so much dowry of my giving.

A'n't that making tarms easy ?--for, as for the small matters for myself, them is things I will come upon the gal for, without troubling you for 'em.

Now you see, captain, I'll 'jist argue the matter.

You may reckon it strange I should make you such an offer; and ondoubtedly, so it is.
