So, Wattles, old man, he said, extending his hand,
gpt
How dare you show your face here?
human
Eh! What's all this?
gpt
I don't want to have anything more to do with you. A nice sort of advance agent you are, aren't you?
human
There's none better, so they say, replied the fellow, with a tipsy leer.
gpt
What are you on your ear about?
human
I have no time to bandy words with you. You are discharged.
gpt
What's that--I discharged? What ails you, Wattles?
human
That's enough, Dick Farley. I told you after your last drunk that if the same thing occurred again I should have nothing more to do with you, and I meant it. Get out!
gpt
But, Wattles, I haven't been on a booze. I have been drugged and kidnaped. Listen and I'll tell you all about it; it's the queerest affair you ever heard of.
human
I guess it is; I know your talent for inventing yarns. I don't want to hear this one.
gpt
Do you mean to insult me?
human
That would be impossible.
gpt
It would, eh? See here, Gus Wattles, do you mean to say that you are going to throw me over and ruin my chances in the business?
human
It is your own fault. I want to have nothing more to do with you.
gpt
Then I'm bounced?
human
That is it, exactly.
gpt
Oh, it is? Well, I'll show you!
