your brother, Howard? Is he here?' 'He went with Mom and Dad.'

could take a message fer Dad.' 'Well,' said the rancher uncomfortably, 'I
really wanted to talk to yer Dad. It's about your brother Howard getting my

charges $500 for the bull and $50 for the hog, but, I really don't know how much
he gets fer Howard.
