Whitney Ellsworth:  Evenin ' .
Alma Garret: Good evening .
Whitney Ellsworth: For bein ' gone , I notice I 'm frequently back . I come to kiss her goodnight .
Alma Garret: I tried to persuade her you 'd done so last night .
Whitney Ellsworth: My beard always wakes her .
Alma Garret: She said so , feuding me . The thing I did that made you leave last night , the thing I was coming home to do again , I pray now to forgo forever .
Whitney Ellsworth: Not having me in this house is gon na improve your odds .
Alma Garret: I started using spirits at _ 17 _ , Ellsworth , with no preminition we 'd marry .
Whitney Ellsworth: My feelin 's that bein ' vessel of purpose is not your own , your eye was out for relief . But glimpsin ' since how bein ' your own vessel 's preferable ... let the pressure come off , you 're liable to do alright .
Alma Garret: You are no pressure .
Whitney Ellsworth: My friendly hands'll always be out to both of ya .
Whitney Ellsworth: May
Whitney Ellsworth: I interrupt her sleep with this beard ?
Alma Garret: She 'd be so glad if you did .
