Gold? For fool? Just a trick.

Speaker 1

I didn't find gold. A small trader filled the shotgum full of gold pellets and chop them against a rock, fills me up piece of the jungle, and I so I'd struck it rich. I even wrote home about it for a woman I used to know how I discovered gold and I got shoppies and Samantra too well talked about the time I met a guy who called himself Tray of Melvin. I was new to Samantra. He tried to sell me futures and elephant tusks, and I almost bought.

Another time, mister Salem, I have to leave what you hi A young woman, mister Valve, not as lovely as you, not as kind. I met her at the telegraph office on Paso wil Vivez.
