`` I 've got a little trouble on my hands . '' `` There 's a lot of trouble here , '' said the Senator . `` I 've got to settle a quarrel between two neighbors and visit a sick friend and make a short address to the Northern New York Conference at the Methodist Church and look over a piece of land that I 'm intending to buy , and discuss the plans for my new house with the carpenter . I expect to get through about six o'clock and right after supper I could ride up to your place with you and walk back early in the morning . We could talk things over on the way up . '' `` That 's first rate , '' said my uncle . `` The chores ai n't much these days an ' I guess my sister can git along with 'em . ''
