Yeah, Granny, I reckon old women ain't as thick a spin as you are when it comes to keeping house.

Here you are, Granny.

Set it in the middle of the table so we'll see if these pot passers reach.

Yeah, I reckon that'll do the trick all right.

Ted, maybe you better whittle some sharp points on a few of them, and then we can spear the meat and pass it.

Good idea, Granny.

I'll do that.

How do you reckon the folks that lived here before us passed things?

Well, they probably had a big family and passed from hand to hand.

But mind me, we're having five for a Thanksgiving meal.

Yeah, you already told me.

Company coming?

Extra special company.

Ellie's beau.

Has Ellie got a beau?

She sure has.

Mr. Drysdale's step-boy, Sonny.

Him and Ellie ain't never seen each other yet.

Sonny and his ma just come in from Boston.

But Mr. Drysdale says his boy will be just happy to come a-courtin' Ellie.
