- Jack Sherman: I want to thank you, Bob, for everything.
- Col. Gray: It's been a great pleasure having you and your family with us, even for so short a time. Quite different from Philadelphia, isn't it?
- Elizabeth Lloyd Sherman: Yes, indeed. We lived there for six years, but I never got used to the dreadful noise of the horse cars.
- Col. Gray: Jack told me that you'd sold your house there.
- Jack Sherman: We sold everything, lock, stock, and barrel. Took Greely's advice to go west, and here we are to find our fortune. I'm depending on your help for that.
- Swazey: Oh, there's plenty there for the finding, if we're lucky.
- Elizabeth Lloyd Sherman: I do wish we didn't have to go back home to Lloydsboro.
- Jack Sherman: Now, dear, we've settled all that.
- Col. Gray: This wild country is no place for women and children, and where Jack's going it's even rougher. Besides, Jack told me you have a lovely home waiting for you.
- Elizabeth Lloyd Sherman: Oh, that sounds too grand. It's really just a cottage my mother left me.
- Swazey: You oughta be glad to see us. We're old friends of yours.
- Hull: We've come a long way to see your daddy. Where is he?
- Miss Lloyd Sherman: He's at home, and he's sick.
- Swazey: Gee, that's too bad.
- Hull: Where's home?
- Miss Lloyd Sherman: Down at the end of the road.
- Swazey: Thanks, Colonel. You're still a colonel, I suppose? Well, goodbye.
- Miss Lloyd Sherman: Oh, those are bad men! I heard Papa Jack say so.
- Swazey: Why, Jack, old partner! What's happened to you?
- Jack Sherman: I've been very ill.
- Swazey: Gee, that's too bad. Anything we can do? Maybe when you find out what we've come for, you'll feel better. When we sold you that land, we did it in good faith. We thought there was gold and plenty on it, and then we went off to California. On our way back, we stopped to see how you were faring, and we found out what had happened. Partner, we felt bad. Didn't we?
- Hull: That's right.
- Swazey: Now we'll prove we're honest. We made a long trip to find you to give you back your money.
- Jack Sherman: You did, did you?
- Swazey: Why, I couldn't sleep again if I thought you'd lost money. All we ask is that you hand over the deed to the property, and we'll pay you what you paid us, fair and square.
- Jack Sherman: That's very kind and generous of you. Now be kind enough to get out of my house! You found out my land was valuable and the railroad wanted it, and I found out what kind of men you are. Now get out!
- Swazey: Now partner, we came here to make an honest business deal for that deed. But if you're going to get rough about it, we'll have to get it another way.
