What is the effect of Ray Sutcliffe's dialogue in this
passage?
A man out of Alabama, man name of Ray Sutcliffe, told
my daddy I was such a good rider, he wanted me to ride
some races for him. "That boy of yours got a mighty light
weight on him and he sure enough knows how to handle
a horse like he was full grown. I've got myself a good
rider, but he's been feeling sick of late, and I need
another rider. Could sure use that boy of yours."
