That's splendid, Polly! she approved.
gpt
Another day's work as good as this, and we'll be able to buy our hotel.
human
I guess we'd better go, don't you think?
gpt
You're safe enough, retorted Polly.
human
You're safe any place with your check-book. Besides, we don't want to double names on this list. We'll spring another one when we're ready to equip and run the place. Oh, there's Johnny Gamble! Hello, Johnny!
gpt
Come right up here, Johnny, she commanded him.
human
I have a great surprise in store for you.
gpt

human
When I get Johnny Gamble's name this list is closed,
gpt
I'll bet with you on that, offered Bruce Townley.
human
Johnny probably hasn't enough money to buy a tin rattle for your babies' hotel.
gpt
No! she protested, shocked.
human
I'm so used to seeing him with money that I don't think I'd know him if he had it shaved off.
gpt

human
Here comes Ashley Loring. He can tell you all about it. Johnny Gamble hasn't a cent left, has he, Loring?
gpt
It would be most unprofessional to discuss Mr. Gamble's private affairs, said Loring reprovingly as he came into the box.
human
Aside from a mere detail like that, I don't mind saying that Johnny Gamble has just bet the last hundred dollars he has in the world on an absolutely criminal long shot.
gpt
I hope he wins! stated Polly heartily.
human
I think he's the only real gentleman I ever knew.
gpt
Well, I like that!
human
I don't mean a slam at you boys, she hastily corrected.
gpt
You're a nice clean bunch; but I know so much about Johnny. He helps people, then hides so he can't be thanked. He's the one man out of a thousand that both women and men can absolutely trust.
human
That's rather a broad statement,
