Um! Here it is: Number 329, came from Sarah Dolan, who moved to a smaller flat last Spring. From this entry I see that all them seven pictures came from her. Do you happen to know her?
gpt
Why, Sally Dolan was cook fer the Revere boys, and when they broke up, she started a bordin' house down on Morris Street. Then she took rheumatiz and was that crippled, she couldn't get about the kitchen no more, so she gave up. Her boys manage to keep her now, and she takes things easy. But she sure was a good cook!

Well, I'll go and see what the girls have found out there, I guess. But I wish you'd fix a price on those four frames.
gpt
Lem'me see, now. Sal Dolan didn't set no price, and if I say five dollars for the four, would you take 'em?
human
Dear me! objected Mrs. Fabian, craftily.
gpt
The large one you said was worth about a dollar-thirty, and the fish-picture a dollar. That leaves two dollars and seventy cents for the other two. Isn't that pretty high for them?
human
But that fish picture makes a fine dinin' room piece, especially if you could get the mate what is a brace of quails.
gpt
Oh well, rather than jew you down, I'll take them, if you will take the trouble to make me out a receipt for the four.
human
Ain't this a cash sale?
gpt
Of course, but two of them are for friends. I only intend keeping the other two. I want them, to have the bill to show, you see.
human
Ten per cent fer me and the rest for Sally,
gpt
I want to ask the auctioneer how much this little box and mirror are?
