Are you awake, Julius?
gpt
Yes.
human
You sleep sound don't you?
gpt
Like a top.
human
How did they treat you at that house in Madison avenue?
gpt
They was kind to me. They gave me some supper.
human
Did they ask you if you had a father?
gpt
Yes.
human
What did you tell 'em?
gpt
That I hadn't got none.
human
Did they ask who you lived with?
gpt
Yes,
human
And you told 'em?
gpt
I told 'em I lived with a friend some of the time, when he wasn't absent in the country,
human
Was you ever at the Island, Julius?
gpt
No.
human
That's odd! You don't do credit to Jack's teaching.
gpt
Likely I'll go some time,
human
It ain't so bad when you're used to it. Let me see that coat.
gpt
It's a good coat.
human
Yes, a bully one.
gpt
The boy--young Hoffman--used to wear it, didn't he?
human
Likely he did, but he's a good deal too big to wear it now.
gpt
How big is he?
human
Most as tall as Jack,
gpt
Big enough to make trouble. However, he'll get a telegram Monday, to go over to Brooklyn, that'll get him out of the way.
human
That's a good plan, that is!
gpt
Shall you see him to-day?
human
If you want me to.
gpt
I don't know, said Marlowe.
human
Do you know where he sleeps?
gpt
No, said Julius.
human
You didn't tell me to ask.
gpt
Of course not. It would only make him suspect something. But I didn't know but you heard something said, as you did about the safe.
