Chapter VI
Dryfoos modestly dropped his head under Fulkerson's flattery and, without lifting it, turned his eyes toward Colonel Woodburn. "I had all sorts of men to deal with in developing my property out there, but I had very little trouble with them, generally speaking." "Ah, ah! you foundt the laboring-man reasonable--dractable--tocile?" Lindau put in. "Yes, generally speaking," Dryfoos answered.
