Henry!

What? Come down here!

Howdy. Hey, how you doing? Good.

Fine looking horse.

Thank you.

Hey, Vin.

Pretty good yourself?

Good.

Take a little walk?

Yeah, sure. All right.

All

right.

We're rusty.

So where we walk from, all the way out.

From here, can't see, but all the way over that bluff over there and back.

So I'm looking to sell.

Didn't you say this used to be a hemp pond?

In 54, we had a bad drought.

Kind of got away from us.

That's a pretty rough crop to lose. It's ready to come back.

You can almost hear it, can't you?

Buy me!

All right, so how much are you asking for it?

75.

75.

Don't lose your balance.

I know.

Getting it for free.

So what about this prime property you have right over here on the left?

Well, that's my farm, so I can't really sell that.

What I'm interested in selling is 50 acres.

It's grown up pretty bad, and the fellow up the road up here, he's got 300 acres

down there.

Does he? Yeah.

I'll throw that in, too.

you will yeah just don't tell them well listen 75 an acre

look how bad grown up it is it's pretty rough shape the land is well it's going

to need a little bit of work you need a lot of work

i

need you

Get some of your hands and come on.

We ain't going to get through all this.

You're going to wear yourself out.

That's good.

Just a few more days.

Go on in Go on in

Go on in Go on in

Boy, get that in there.

I

wasn't

going to do it.

That's what you should have told me.

What do you got?

Nothing. You got somewhere.

There she is. Boy, it's been generous.

Hey, Warren.

Well,

who else can we give him in this with Brady?

Sure you want to ask him here?

Where the hell is someone going to ask him?

Don't ask him at all. It's not his business.

I heard General Buckner's regrouped his militia down in Bowling Green.

Who told you?

A lot, sister.

Margaret? Mm-hmm.

Them Union men took all his property.

You know, they're going to try to do the same to us.

Did she mention anything that wasn't in Harper? Well, she found three of our

rebels asleep on the kitchen floor the other morning. What'd she do?

Spend them breakfast.

I read that we lost seven.

Hmm?

Barberville.

Mr. Small.

Mr.

Mellon. Good to see you, sir. Well, how do you do?

Just fine, thank you. Yeah, great night for this.

Oh, it is. Thanks for having us. No, thanks for coming, of course. I was

hoping I could ask you a question, if you have a moment. Oh, no, of course.

Well, as you know, I've got about 200 acres.

It's in pretty bad shape.

I mean, it's good land. It's just kind of grown up at the moment.

It's just been hard for Henry and I to keep it the way we need to. I was

thinking with the season coming to an end, you might be in a position to spare

a few of your men for us after you're harvested, of course.

That way in the spring, I'll have the opportunity to get what I need done in

the ground. And then I was hoping that I could give you 20% of what I got from

the tobacco.

I figured with your harvest being over, you can spare at least a couple.

Francis. Yes, sir.

Excuse me.

No, I'm very short on every one and everything.

Yes, sir. I understand.

If this was five years ago or even a year ago, I'd be happy to.

What if I could do 25? Do you think you know anybody that might be interested in

that? Hmm.

Say 30?

Well, that's fine.

I just wanted to bring it up.

Oh, thanks so much. No, you're very welcome. All right. Now you say hey to

Henry. I will. I'll make sure. I'll make sure. All right. Good talking to you.

Yes, sir. Bye bye.

Howdy, Andrew.

Howdy.

Boy, is it going all right?

Yes, sir.

Morning, Ms. Small.

Henry.

So how are you? How's your brother?

Oh, he's fine.

What are you reading on?

The Wandering Jew.

Hmm.

So you've read it?

Mm-hmm.

Have a good day.

And he's pretty well lit anyways.

When he gets up there, he pulls the damn thing down. On top?

Well, he goes to put the other one up there, and the roof was one of those

slope kind, real steep.

Oh, gosh.

Well, sir, he tumbled right off and broke both the dang legs.

Hey, Warren. Hey, Henry.

I broke them both.

Died too, by God, a couple weeks later.

For broken legs?

No, he died of pneumonia.

Uh-huh. The legs didn't help him none neither.

Yep.

Where you been, bub?

I don't know about.

See the mules?

Yeah, I seen them.

Love them today.

You bought two mules?

Yep. What do we need two mules for?

To use them.

What do you mean? Help with work?

In the winter?

For spring.

Why did you get them now?

Because I got a great deal.

That Johnson family over around Sibley, they're selling out moving back in. And

so they had these two mules.

And so instead of one,

I bought two.

Generally, when you buy mules, you don't buy them in pairs.

Rarely do you get a deal like this. Instead of buying one... Well, he got...

I got both of them. Pretty pricey one.

No, but I... How much did you spend on it?

Henry!

Henry!

It's all right.

Have a seat.

I'm just counting to see how much money he's going.

Henry.

Lost him.

My God.

Well, I don't know if I should stay or... No, do stay.

It's fine. They don't want to get wet anywhere. No, no, no, no. Stay, stay,

stay, stay. It's fine.

Stay the night.

Well... Sit down. Come on here a little bit more. Just enough for everybody.

Come on.

Well, just a short one. All right.

Too short?

Yeah, that's good. Short enough? That's good.

But yeah, she said come over tomorrow.

Tomorrow, next day.

You are stupider than hell

to be buying a mule right before winter when they can't do nothing except for

eat and die.

They're standing out there. They're fine.

Probably no good anyway.

They're in great health. You didn't even ask me. I don't have to ask you.

Well, boys, I best be going.

early day tomorrow.

Stick around, Warren.

Well, like two, but Warren comes early.

Well, thanks for coming.

Come back, won't you? Yeah.

Well, good night, boys.

Good night, Warren.

Stop. Give me some covers.

hey girl really

Got him.

Henry? Henry?

Hey, Henry?

You awake?

Cock-a-doodle-doo, Henry.

Missed me.

Doesn't count.

We'll play with some prim dandy we can play from here, but let's play from back

here.

That's close.

Pretty sure that doesn't count either.

All right, easy boy.

Easy, easy, easy.

All right, easy boy.

Run up on you. I know.

Come here boy.

Come on boy.

You see him?

How in the world are we going to eat all these?

Who left them out?

You did.

Damn it.

All right, we'll fish them out. I got to get ready.

It's too far on the fire right now.

You gotta raise it out some. This is how you do it.

If you have it directly in there, it's gonna cook all black on the outside and

then just raw in the middle.

So where do you want it?

Just put it in the... Put it just above the heat, but not directly in it.

I don't understand.

Why'd you touch it?

Seeing how haunted it is.

It was in the fire.

You're not in there. The problem is now you're getting the bottom. This is the

fine. It's going to be pink down there.

This is some other color up top.

Get it up in that smoke.

Come on up in the smoke

On the top.

Now hit it.

No, let me hit it!

I want to make a little something over the fireplace that has a little tail.

and i want to make my own little stamp for it i want to stamp in

flibbertigibbet

Francis. Francis. Francis.

Francis.

Francis.

There's a lot of rock climbed in there.

Get up!

You alright?

Don't throw that in the fire.

Oh, come on, Henry.

I'm hurt pretty good.

Let me see.

Open it up.

All right.

All right, put that hand on it and hold it tight, okay?

Just keep it like that, all right?

Sit down.

Don't sit down. All right, sit down.

Give me a tight line.

Hey, take that handle.

Take it off.

All right, take this hand.

Hold it there. Don't let go, okay? Now stand up.

Come on.

Come on. Stand up.

Stand up. No, don't lay down. Stand up.

Stand up. Come on.

All right. Walk.

Walk.

All right.

Mmm, here now.

You reckon he's that Mr. Smalls?

Where he got his name from is Clemensville.

It's been out for Clemensville.

Looking for Dr.

What's his name?

Dr. Are you all right?

Taylor.

Yeah, he's fine.

Well, look at him. He's bleeding.

Evening, Mr. Small.

Henry's hurt pretty bad. I wonder if Dr. Taylor was available.

Pardon me.

All right.

Let's go in the wild fish.

Wait right here.

You all right, Henry?

Come inside.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

Please, make yourself at home.

Josephine, can you see if Mr. Mellon would care for anything?

Miss, uh, Wright.

Can I grab you anything?

Tea? Miss Punch?

Oh, Punch.

Okay, I'll be right back.

You have such kind eyes.

You remind me of a girl I used to know.

A girl who was very dear to me.

She died many years ago.

You must miss her dearly.

I've said too much already.

You should go enjoy the party, Miss.

Betsy?

Have you said hello to Mr. and Mrs. Cage?

Not yet. I'm trying to save your reputation.

Now. Go thank them.

Good evening, Mrs. Keech.

Such a lovely pattern.

Here you are. Thank you very much. This is a lovely party, too. Thank you.

Excuse me.

Sure.

I'm just talking to Paul.

Enjoying the party? Yes. Can I get you any?

Oh,

no.

And we think that he muses in

Don't take that rag off.

Let it seal up that cut.

Henry, hold that tie.

Even in this small.

Hello, Henry.

Sorry. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

It's a nice night out tonight.

Out here.

I suppose.

Warm.

Almost not too cold.

It was cloudy yesterday, so I thought it would be cold today.

Yeah, but the thing is, you take last week when it was sunny and dry, it was

cold.

So it don't make much sense that maybe the clouds keep it warm, you reckon?

Yes, but it rained before that.

There's that one day where it was warm and clear and it turned cloudy and warm.

I thought that was real strange.

I don't remember. Remember that?

Sure did.

When?

It rained off and on for two days, right?

Well, actually, it was three days.

No, it was cloudy one day. There weren't any rain, though.

I saw rain.

It rained here that day, but just a little.

So maybe it rained a little. I didn't see it, but I believe it.

Could be a rain in one place and not the other.

I've seen that before because sometimes those clouds got rain in them and

sometimes they don't.

Either way, it was clear and chilly for two days after that. In between, we had

a frost.

What you're not remembering was there was a warm day. It was clear and warm

and it got nice and warm in the afternoon.

Real nice.

We was outside all day and didn't need a jacket.

Can you hold these?

Sure.

What happened to your hand?

I just got a cut on it.

Goodness, are you all right?

The doctor's gonna amputate it tomorrow.

Oh, my goodness.

No, no, it's fine. It doesn't hurt any.

I got a real big bruise on my leg the other day.

I wish it would never go away.

You want to see what someone gave me?

Here. You want any?

Sure.

Hold real still.

All this at once?

Mm-hmm.

Hmm.

Wayne? Have I already had it?

Let's see.

To the right hand and to the left, dead to all hope in yourself, you must be

stripped of dependence upon your prayers, tears, resolutions, or desires.

You must lie at the footstool of sovereign mercy, throwing your guilty,

perishing soul at the feet of Jesus, crying, Lord, save me or I perish.

And so narrow is the way.

to the happy country.

Thank you so much, Reverend. It was beautiful.

Ladies, thank you for gracing our presence so consistently every week.

We'll see you at the house.

Henry! What kind of signs are we looking for?

Signs?

Footprints, blood.

Broken branches, what?

I don't know.

Henry?

Howdy. Howdy.

Take a litter for me?

As soon as I help these young ladies.

You

ready?

Gonna need a pencil and paper.

Who's that?

Right here, son. Right here.

All right.

Land available. Good for him.

50 acres. Hart County.

Good land.

Right to France. Melon care of.

Smallest corner general store.

Have it.

Send it to the paper in Lumpersville, would you?

You got it?

Want to put a price?

Do I need to?

Some people do.

I don't think, no, I don't need to do that.

All right, thanks. You know we don't take credit no more.

No, I paid it down last month.

Thanks.

Do you think this dress is too aggressive?

No.

I don't think it's right.

It's not bad.

Okay.

Might appreciate that bow on your hair.

I don't even know what I'm gonna say to you.

Don't suppose you like doing much outdoors and nature-like?

I don't know much about that.

Well, I've always been kind of an outdoorsman myself.

You like hunting?

No.

Like traveling any Well,

yes, I love to travel what all sorts of places you like traveling to

New York City's nice, but I also like being

down south New Orleans not in the summertime now Do you have relations up

north?

I've got a second cousin who used to live up there.

We were never close, though.

I mean, he came down, visited some, and we never went up and saw him, though.

He's a traveling man.

The Madame de la...

What is it?

Saint.

Well, though Madame de la Sainte-Colombe is 60 years old, it appears that

Dumoulin has matrimonial views on the large fortune of this woman.

You will do well to inform Rodin so that he may be on his guard against the dark

designs of this rascal.

John says it'll all be over by spring.

Last time you said Christmas.

Lucky if they don't kill you in your sleep.

Well, you said two o'clock already.

I must be off.

Still got two hours ahead of us.

Who's that?

Josephine?

Sophie, come here.

Boys,

we don't have tobacco today, just like we didn't have it yesterday.

Private Jacobson got some from you yesterday.

Well, then why don't you go buy some from Private Jacobson? What you got

right there?

It's a bag of sugar I'm holding for Mrs. Maloney.

Come on, if we see it.

Morning, Andy.

Howdy, Francis.

Can I get 12 pounds of tobacco seed and a peck of corn seed, please?

I got a 10-pound bag. That's fine.

How's

your

day going?

Oh, you know, about the same.

That'd be $1.12.

Keep that. Pay my account off a little bit.

Thank you. Will do.

When are you going to get something? I can't tell you.

Thank you, Mr. Small.

Good

luck

to you, boy.

Just called you late. If you want something else, go ahead.

It's not even small. Whoa.

Fine. How do you do, Francis?

Fine. Can I help you down?

All right.

Easy. There you go.

That's a lot of wood.

Yeah, I reckon it is.

Can I invite you in for a refreshment or anything at all?

Oh, I can't. I'm supposed to give you this.

Boy, that's something else.

You ever kept your feet warm with red peppers?

No.

One time my brother told me if you stick hot red peppers in your boot, you keep

your feet warm.

He didn't tell me that you got to keep them on the outside of the sock.

So I stuffed them up underneath my stocking and I was walking around all

day just thinking to myself.

This actually works.

Feels like my feet are on fire.

And, um, took my stockings off. My feet were all red and blistered.

Didn't walk on them for three weeks.

We is marching next week, so make sure to write to my company, not the camp.

I will tell you all about our way of getting along.

And I don't want them to worry about us, so say, and I don't

want you to worry about me.

We are getting along first rate.

Poor guy.

Who's got a plate?

Let's see if that one's good.

This real nice farmer donated those to the cause.

Whew. You put that one in the middle.

Oh, shoot. We might have to eat that one in the morning.

If it's still there.

I seen her in the summertime.

I seen her in the fall.

Saw her at the chicken coop and I saw her at the ball.

Every time I see her, now she's smiling like the sun.

But now she's gone and left me here to be on the old jawbone.

Angelina Baker.

Angelina Baker's gone.

left me here to weep a tear and beat on the old jawbone.

Back up from the fire.

Hey, Billy.

Hey, Billy Yank.

Yeah.

Howdy.

Say, you got any coffee?

You could trade for some tobacco.

Yeah, I got it.

Oh, please don't take my eldest son. There's work on the farm that's gotta be

done. Sing high, diddle-eye, diddle-eye, die, diddle-eye, diddle-eye.

Take my wife with all of your heart, with luck the two of you never need

parts anymore.

Dead lie, dead lie, die, dead lie, dead lie, day.

The devil he hoisted her under his back, no peddler was ever so proud of his

back. Dead lie, dead lie, die, dead lie, dead lie, day.

And when they got to the fork of the road, he says, old woman, you're a hell

of a loser.

Did lie, did lie, die, did lie, did lie, they.

And when they got to the gates of hell, he took strokes of fire, but the roaster

wilted. Did lie, did lie, die, did lie, did lie, they.

Then stepped up the devil with fallen chains. He upped with his foot and

kicked out his brains and cried.

Did lie, did lie, die, did lie, did lie, they.

Some devils came down to put her in a sack. She up with her boot and broke all

her back. Sing hi.

Dead lie, dead lie, die.

Dead lie, dead lie, die.

The devils cried out from up on the wall. Take her back, daddy, she'll

murder us all. Sing hi.

Dead lie, dead lie, die. Dead lie, dead lie, die.

The old man's feet been through the crack. When he seen the old devil out

bringing her back. Sing hi.

Dead lie, dead lie, die, dead lie, dead lie day.

The devil said if you would be so kind, take her back to the farmer, I could

change my mind, sing high.

Dead lie, dead lie, die, dead lie, dead lie day.

What'll you give me for taking her in? I promise no more than the wages of sin,

sing high. Dead lie, dead lie, die, dead lie, dead lie day.

I've been the devil most all my life, but I never knew hell till I met with

your wife, sing high.

Dead lie, dead lie, die, dead lie, dead lie, day.

If you want to be rid of this spicy old hen, you'll never be devil, my family

Dead lie, dead lie, die, dead lie, dead lie, day.

The devil did cry, the devil did howl, but he never returned to the man in his

cloud, sing high.

Deadly, deadly, die, deadly, deadly.

The old man gave his wife a kiss, or who could get him a deal with him?

Deadly, deadly, die, deadly, deadly.

This proves that women are better than men, they can all go to hell.
