"Henry." "Henry!" "What?" "Come down here." "Anybody home?" "Mr. Mellon?" "Howdy." "Hey, how you doin'?" "Good." " Fine-lookin' horse." " Well, thank you." " How you been?" " Pretty good." "Yourself?" "Good." "Take a little walk?" "Yeah, sure." "All right." "All right." "Well, Rusty..." "So where we walked from..." "Mm-hmm." "All the way out from here." "You can't see, but all the way over to that bluff over there." "Uh-huh." "Uh-huh." "And back." "That's what I'm lookin' to sell." "Now didn't you say this used to be a hemp farm?" "In '54, we had a bad drought." "Mm-hmm." "Kinda got away from us, but..." "It'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." "How much ya asking for it?" "Seventy-five." "Seventy-five." "Don't lose your balance." "I know." "Getting it for free." "So-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 growed up pretty bad." "The fellow up the road up here, he's got 300 acres down there, so now..." "Does he?" "He has." "I'll throw that in too." "You will?" "Yeah." "Just don't tell him." " Well, listen." "Seventy-five an acre." " Mm-hmm." "Look how badly grown up it is." "It's in pretty rough shape, the land is." " Well, it's gonna need a little bit of work." " It's gonna need a lot of work." "I need ya." "Get something in your hands and come on." "We ain't gonna get through all this!" "You're just gonna wear yourself out." "It's good." "Just a few more days." "All right." "Put it down." "Go on in." "Go on in." "Go on in." "Go on in." "Go on in." "Go on in." "Go on in there." "Boy, get that in there." "I wasn't gonna do it." "And that's what you should have told him." "It wasn't a good price for the corn." "What have you got?" "Nothin'." "You got it somewhere." "There she is." "You've always been generous." "Hey, Warren." "Good evening, Henry." "Well, I'm just gonna give him a minute." "He's with Brady." "Sure you wanna ask him here?" "Where the hell else are we gonna 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?" "Claude's sister." "Margaret?" "Mm-hmm." "Them Union men took all his property." "You know, they're gonna try to do the same to us." " Did she mention anything that wasn't in Harper's?" " Yeah." "She found three of our rebels asleep on her kitchen floor the other morning'." "What did she do?" "She fed 'em breakfast." " I - read that we lost seven." "Mm-hmm." "Barbourville." " Mr. Small." " Hmm?" "Mr. Mellon!" "Good to see you, sir." "Well, how do you do?" "Just fine." "Thank you." "Great night for this." "Oh, it is." "Thanks for having us." "No." "Thanks for coming." "I was hoping I could ask you a question." "Um... if you have a moment." "Oh, no." "Of course." "Well, as you know, I've got about 200 acres." "Uh, it's in pretty bad shape." "Mm-hmm." "I mean, it's good land." "It's just, uh, kinda grown up at the moment." "Uh, it's just been hard for Henry and I to keep it the way we need to." "Mm-hmm." "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." "Oh." "That way, in the spring, I'll have the opportunity to get what I need done in the ground, and then, I was hoping I could give you 20% of what I get from the tobacco." " I figure with your harvest being over, you could spare..." " Well, no..." "Uh, Francis..." "Yes, sir." "Excuse me." "Now, I'm very short on everyone and everything." "Yes, sir, I understand." "If this was five years ago or even a year ago, well, I'd be happy to." "What if I could do 25?" "Do you think you know anybody that might be interested in that?" "Hmm." "Actually 30?" "Mmm." "Well, that's fine." "I just wanted to bring it up." "I'll put my mind to it." "You're very welcome." "Thanks so much." "Okay." "You say "hey" to Henry for me." "I'll make sure I do." "Good talkin' to you." "Thank you, sir." "Bye." "Whoo!" "Ohh." "Howdy, Henry." "Howdy." "You boys doin' all right?" "Yes, sir." "Morning, Miss Small." "Henry." "So, how are you?" "How's your brother?" "Uh, he's fine." " What are you reading on?" " The Wandering Jew." "Hmm." "So you've read it?" "Mm-hmm." "Have a good day." "He's pretty well lit, anyways." "When he gets up there, he pulls the damn thing down." "Pulls the top?" " He goes to put the other one up there." " Uh-huh." "And the roof was one of them slope kind, real steep." "Right." "Oh, gosh." " Well, sir, he tumbled right off and broke both damn legs. " " Hoo!" " Hey, Warren." " Hey, Henry." " Broke 'em both?" "He died too, by God, just a couple of weeks later." " From broken legs?" " No, he died of pneumonia." "Uh-huh." "But his legs didn't help him none neither." "Yep." "Where you been, bub?" "Out and about." "See the mules?" "Yeah, I seen 'em." "Bought 'em today." " You bought two mules?" " Yep." "What do we need two mules for?" "To use 'em." "What do you mean?" "Help with work." "In the winter?" "For spring." " Why did you get 'em now?" " 'Cause I got a great deal." "That Johnson family over around Sibley." "They're selling out." "Moving back East." "And so they had these two mules." "And, uh, so, in..." "Instead of, uh, one," "I got..." "I bought two." "Generally, when you buy mules, you don't buy 'em in pairs." "They..." "Rarely do you get a deal like this." "Instead of buying one..." "I..." "I got both of 'em." "Well, he got..." "For the price of one." " No, but I..." " How much did you spend on 'em?" "Henry!" "Henry." "It's all right." "Have a seat." "Just counting to see how much money you squandered." "Henry." "Lost him." "My God." "Well, I don't know if I should stay or..." "No, do stay." "It's fine." "You don't want to get wet anyway." "No, no, no." "Stay." "Stay, stay, stay." "It's fine." "Stay the night." "Well." "Sit down!" "Nah." "It's gettin' late." "Come on." "Here, a little bit more." "There's enough for everybody." "Come on." " Well, just a short one." " All right." "Too short?" "Yeah." "That's..." "That's good." "That short enough?" "I'll have one too." "But, yeah." "She said come over tomorrow." " Tomorrow or next day." " Think you're so..." "And he'll be..." "You are stupider than hell to be buyin' a mule right before winter, when they can't do nothin' except for eat and die." "They're standin' 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 ya." "Well, boys, I best be goin'." " It's an early day tomorrow." " Stick around, Warren." "Well, I'd like to, but morning' comes early." "Well, thanks for comin'." "Good to see ya." "Come back, won't ya?" "Yeah." "All right." "Well, good night, boys." "Good night, Warren." "Night." "Scared him off." "No, I didn't." "He's got to be up early." "Stop." "Stop." "Stop snoring." "Stop!" "Give me some covers." "Hey, girl." "Girlie." "How you doin'?" "Hmm." "Good boy." "Got him." "Henry?" "Henry?" "Henry?" "Henry?" "Hey, Henry." "You awake?" "Oh!" "Cock-a-doodle-doo, Henry." "Whoa!" "Jesus!" "Missed me." "Doesn't count." "If you wanna play with some prim dandy, we can play from here." "But let's play from back here." "It was close." "For sure that doesn't count either." "Francis!" "All right." "Easy, boy." "Easy." "Easy, easy." "Okay, let's see what you have, then." "All right." "Easy, boy." "All right." "Easy." "Easy, easy, easy." "Easy." "Jesus Christ." "He'll run off on you." "I know." "Come here, boy." "Come on, boy." "You see him?" "No." "How in the world are we gonna eat all these?" "Who left them out?" "You did." "Damn it." "All right, well, fish 'em out." "I gotta get ready." "What?" "Goddamn it!" "Henry!" "You can't keep a goddamn empty kettle on the fire." "Get it." "It's too far in 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." "Ah!" "Why did you touch it?" "To see how hot it is." "It was in the fire." "You're not..." "Now, the problem is now you're gettin' the bottom..." "This is..." "They're fine." "It's gonna be pink down there, and some other color up top." "Get it up in that smoke." "Come on, up in the smoke." "Ooh!" " Well, we could use some more smoke." " Ooh!" "We're gonna make a little..." "A little thing." "Get it out!" "All right." "Put this out." "Hit it!" "On the top." "Now hit it." "No, let me hit it!" "I wanna make a little somethin' over the... fireplace that has a little... tail, and then I wanna make my own little stamp for it, and I wanna stamp in:" "Flibbertigibbet." "Francis." "Francis. ♪ I don't mind the weather for the wind won't blow ♪" "Francis." "Hey." "Francis." "Francis." "Francis?" "I thought a rock climbed in there." "Get off, you bastard!" "Fuck!" "You all right?" "Don't throw that in the fire." "Aaah!" "Oh, come on, Henry." "I'm hurt pretty good." "Let me see." "Open it up." "All right." "All right." "Put that hand on it." "Hold it tight." "Okay?" "Just keep it like that, all right?" "Sit down." "Don't sit down!" "All right, sit down." "You been tight..." "Let me see." "All right." "See." "Take that hand off." "Take it off!" " Ah!" " All right." "Take this hand." "Hold it there and don't let it go." "Okay?" "Now stand up." "Come on, Henry." "Come on." "Stand up!" "Can I lay down, Francis?" "Stand up." "No, don't lay down." "Stand up." "Stand up." "Come on." "All right." "Walk, walk." "Keep walking." "All right?" "Keep walking." "Keep walking." "Keep walking." "Take it easy." "He ain't here now." "You reckon he's at Mr. Small's?" "We're lookin' for Dr...." "What's his name?" "Dr., uh..." "I'll get him." "Is he all right?" "Taylor." "Yeah, he's fine." "Well, look at him." "He's bleeding." "Yes?" "Evening, Mrs. Small." "Uh, Henry's hurt pretty bad." "I wondered if Dr. Taylor was available." "Pardon me." "All right." "Let's go to my office." "Wait right here." "You all right, Henry?" " MRS." " Come inside." "Thank you." " I'm sorry about this." " Please, make yourself at home." "Josephine, you will see if Mr. Mellon would care for anything." "Miss..." "Miss, uh, Wright..." "Can I grab you anything?" " Tea?" "There's punch." " Oh, punch." "Thank you." "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 Small." "Betsy." "Have you said hello to Mr. and Mrs. Keach?" "Not yet." "I'm tryin' to save your reputation." "Now, go thank them." "Good evening, Mrs. Keach." "Such a lovely pattern, isn't it?" "Here you are." "Thank you very much." "This is, uh, a lovely party too." "Thank you." "Excuse me." " S-Sure." " I'm just talkin' some politics." "Enjoying the party?" "Can I get you any..." "Yes." "Oh, no."

"Let it seal up that cut." "Henry." "Hold that tight, now." "Whoo!" "Whoo!" "Whoo!" "Evening, Miss 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." "Well, it's 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 except maybe clouds keep... keep it warm." "You reckon?" "Yes, but it rained before that." "Well, there was that one day where it was warm and clear, and it turned cloudy and warm." "Now that was real strange." "I don't remember that." "Sure it 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 it rained one place and not the other." "I've seen that before." "Just sometimes it's clouds got rain in 'em and sometimes they don't." "Either way, it was clear and chilly for two days after that." "And in between we had a frost and..." "What you're not remembering was there was a warm day when 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." "I'll have to think about it." "Can you hold these?" "Sure." "Oh." "What happened to your hand?" "Oh, I was..." "Got a cut on it." "Goodness, are you all right?" "Doctor's gonna amputate it tomorrow, so..." "Oh, goodness." "No, no." "It's fine." "It doesn't hurt any." "Oh." "That's good." "I got a real big bruise on my leg the other day." "I wish it would never go away." "You wanna see what someone gave me?" "Here." "You want any?" "Sure." "Hold on a minute." "Just a minute." "All right." "Hold real still." "All this at once?" "Mm-hmm." "Hmm." "Want any?" "I've already had it." "Betsy." "I didn't want my first kiss to be with you." "Whoo!" "To the right hand and to the left..." "Dead to all hope in yourself." "You must be stripped of dependents 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..." "Reverend." " So consistently every week." " We'll see you at the house?" "I would not miss it for anything in the world." "You're so sweet." "Henry!" "Henry!" "Henry!" "Henry!" "What kinda signs are we looking for?" " Signs?" " Footprints, blood?" "Henry!" "Broken branches, what?" "Now, I don't know." "Henry!" "Henry!" "Henry?" "Hey, Lucas." "Hey, Francis." "How you doing?" "I'm all right." "I don't think it's quite right for what we need." "Howdy." "Howdy." "What would you like to see?" "Take a letter for me." "As soon as I help these young ladies." "All right." "We'll leave that there." "Look around some more." "You might find something." "'Cause your daddy brought some new stuff in." "Thank you." " You ready?" " I'm gonna need a pencil and paper." "Where's that?" "Right here, son." "Right here." "All right." "Uh..." "Land available." "Good for hemp." "50 acres." "Hart County." "Good land." "Write Francis Mellon, care of Small's Corner General Store." "Have it?" "Send it to the paper in Munfordville, would ya?" "You got it?" "Wanna 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." "See ya, Lucas." "I think we've made a wrong turn with the fabric." "Do you think this dress is too aggressive?" "No." "I don't think it's right." "Not bad." "Okay." "" " Mighty appreciate that bow in your hair." "Thank you." "I don't even know what I'm gonna say to you." "I don't suppose you like, uh, doin' much outdoors and nature-like." "Mmm, I don't know much about that." "Well..." "I've always been kind of an outdoors man myself." "You all like hunting?" "No." "Uh..." "Do you like traveling any?" "Well, yes." "I love to travel." "What all sorts of places you like traveling to?" "Well, New York City's nice, but I also like being down South." "New Orleans." "Not in the summertime though." "Do you have relations up North?" "Uh..." "I've got a second cousin used to live up there." "We were never close though." "I mean, he came down and visited some, and, uh, we never went up and saw him though." "He's a traveling man." ""Though Madame de la S..."" "What is it?" ""Sainte-Colombe."" ""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 that it will all be over by spring." "Last time you said Christmas." "Lucky if they don't kill you in your sleep." "Is it 2:00 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 Jacobsen got some from you yesterday." "Then why don't you go buy some from Private Jacobsen?" "What you got right there?" "That's a bag of sugar I'm holding for Mrs. Maloney." "Mind if we see it?" "Look..." "Good morning, Enoch." "Howdy, Francis." "Give me 12 pounds of tobacco seed and a pack of corn seed, please." "Got a 10-pound bag." "That work?" "That's fine." "Thanks." "Can't smoke that." "No, I don't have anything in the back." "How's your day going?" "Oh, you know, 'bout the same." "That'll be a dollar, 12." "Keep that." "Pay my account off a little bit." "Thank you." "Will do." "When you gonna get some?" "I can't tell you." "What about there?" "Thank you, Mr. Small." "Francis." "Boys, what else do you want me to tell you?" "We don't have any tobacco today, and we probably won't have any tomorrow." "Where can I get some?" "That I can't help you with." "Good luck to you boys." "Just called you "lady."" "You want something else, go ahead." "Captain." "Sons of bitches." "Howdy, Miss Small." "Whoa." "Fine." "How do you do, Francis?" "Fine." "Help you down?" "Uh..." "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." "Came in the mail last week, and we didn't know when you were gonna stop in." "Would you mind reading it for me?" "My eyes are sensitive this morning." "It's from Henry." "Can't be." "Henry can't spell or read or nothin'." "Says it's from him." "Want me to read it for you?" "Please." ""Dear Francis, I now take a moment to write you a letter to tell you how I am faring." "I am sorry to take so long." "My friend Ambrose has helped me write this." "We joined up with the army in Bardstown." "I like the army all right." "I get as much beef and salted pork as I can eat." "Coffee too." "We drill a lot." "Have you heard from the Smalls?" "Please write with news." "Your brother, Henry."" "Can I see this?" "Whew." "Don't see how he could, uh..." "I just ca..." "Thank you, Sergeant." "Sam?" "Thank you, sir." "Henry." "Got some mail for you." "John?" "Thank you, Sergeant." ""Dear Henry," "I have taken a moment to sit and write to you this letter, with the help of Miss Small."" "Hmm." "Which one?" "Which what?" "Which Small?" "Miss Small." "Hmm." ""I hope this finds you as well as yours found me." "I'm glad you are well and alive." "I hope that you will return shortly after reading this letter." "How is the food you're eating?" "It's been nothing but turnips here." "I will leave it here, but please take care and write as soon as you are able." "Thank you for the letter." "Your brother, Francis."" "So, that's..." "He's good?" "He's doing good." "Well..." "Supper." "Left face." "You stay still." "Front." "Thump it." "♪ Would you like a hotel room?"

"Have 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'd keep your feet warm." "He didn't tell me that you gotta keep 'em on the outside of the sock." "So I stuck 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."" "Then I took my stockings off, and my feet were all red and blistered." "Couldn't walk on them for three weeks."

"What do you think about that?" "Goin' to bed?" "No." "No." "Cheers." "Here's to it." "How long they let you off for?" "Couple days." "That ain't much." "So where you been?" "Been marching all around." "We was just down in Decatur, Alabama." "Huntsville." "Bridgeport." "All in between." "Then we had to march up to Louisville." " I think I told you about that in a letter." " Mm-hmm." "Then we was in Perryville." "Was on a train car for a couple of days." "We stopped in front of a big field of watermelon."
