pa

Be a man of affairs like your pa, and like that fellow Shepler.

Then they won't always be askin' who your pa was—they'll be wantin' to know who you are, by Gripes!

It takes a man with some of the brains your pa had to make the game pay now.

That was the way with his pa—he was a different man after things got to comin' too easy fur him.

I can tell by the way you start out—just like your pa fur all the world.

"I'll make him a bigger man than his pa was yet," declared Uncle Peter.

"There was one rule in poker your pa had," said Uncle Peter.

But Pa had a sister who was reel good-lookin', an' some says you've got her eyes.

"Yes, prob'ly it was something about 'em," Pa assented with a chuckle.

I was well-favoured at your age, but your pa wan't much on looks.
