Well, no matter what trouble yer in, jist a sight o’ Betty’s like that.”，"My son, you are very unhappy. I know why you have come this way. You are looking for your wife who is now in the ghost country. It is a very hard thing for you to get there. You may not be able to get your wife back, but I have great power and I will do for you all that I can. If you act as I advise, you may succeed."，“Well, now!
