“ Hank
Bob!
"Bob!"
"I said—come here!"
"So it's you that's been talkin' Mayor Robbins into sellin' his horses, eh?"
"I never beat a horse in all my life—I've always believed in usin' kindness—"
"I've tried to teach you by th' same methods—but you weren't worth it—"
"But, Dad—you're losing your reason!"
"A horse is loyal—a horse remembers—a horse knows what gratitude is—"
"But you——you bite the hand that feeds you—you betray your own father!"

“ Dear Rose—
⁠Am working here in Detroit. Have a job where they build autos. The picture shows the men I am working for and one of their racing machines.
"Look at this picture Bob sent from Detroit—one is Barney Oldfield, and I think the name of the other fellow is Ford."
"Forget Bob—he ain't comin' back, and I ain't goin' away."
"He is coming back——and we're going to be married."
"I'll never ride in your old buggy again!"
Thus, in 1904, the first girl in the world to walk home from an automobile ride——
"Fair one—wilt thou join me in a ride?"

“ Copyright law abroad tends to consider the following people authors of a film:
The principal director The screenwriter, and/or other writers of dialogue The composer/lyricist (if the film is accompanied by sound) The cinematographer By extension, the authors of any works that may serve as the basis for a film's plot The longest-living of these authors died in 1979, so this work is in the public domain in countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 43 years or less.
