"Yes, sir."
"Sir. Now that's right nice. Who taught you manners, boy?"
"Mr. Van did, sir."
"Well, I reckon he was good for something, after all. But a pleasant man, too, a right pleasant man. I never did talk to anyone who was easier with words - unless it was Will Reilly. You got a friend there, boy. You stick to him. A man never has many friends in this life and he had better hold onto them."
(from Reilly's Luck, by Louis L'Amour)
