I'll give you a nice hot bowl of owl soup.

Ah, dingies, that's a first-rate notion.

I'd like to say a few words first.

They are moving into this house?

To get the wrinkles out of their belly, I'll start them off with some nice hot owl soup.

They'll never sell this house to the Fenwicks.

Well, the first thing you know, old Jed's a millionaire.

And he's taken the widow and Cynthia into his house.

Jethro and Ellie tells me that right across the front of this little house of hers, she's got as big as life Fenwick House.

Yes, for the first time, I'm beginning to feel a common bond with them.

I have taken all the abuse I intend to take in this house.

Now, as you all know, poor Witta Fenwick and her youngin is coming to spend the day.

How can folks live in a big fine house like that, and let a poor starving widow and her youngin live in a place like this right outside their gate?
