"I like to buy them." We told him how many we had, and he asked what price we expected to get.
We answered that the local dealers had already fixed the price that fall at two dollars a barrel.
"I will pay you two dollars and a half," Emilio said without a moment's hesitation.
"But, Emilio," the old Squire put in, "we couldn't ask more than the market price." "Ah, but you have good apples!" he replied.

"I know how dose apples taste, and I know dey will be well barreled.

No wormy apples, no bruised apples.

Dey worf more because good honest man put dem up.

I pay you two fifty." We shipped the entire lot to him the following week and received prompt payment.
