He's gone on a vacation,
gpt
Queer time of year for a vacation,
human
He was overworked,
gpt
Guess he overworked cheating me out of two thousand odd dollars,
human
That is a statement no man has any right to make about my employer unless he is in a position to prove it,
gpt
That is so,
human
So he is your employer?
gpt
Yes, he is.
human
This young man's also, I presume.
gpt
Yes, he is,
human
Well, said the man,
gpt
Yes, you may, said Day, pertly,
human
May I ask, said the man, addressing Allbright,
gpt
He has paid me every dollar he owed me,
human
Has he paid you?
gpt
Yes, sir, he has, every darned cent, he declared,
human
When is he coming back?
gpt
Next Monday,
human
Where does he live?
gpt
He lives in Orange,
human
What street, and number?
gpt
One hundred and sixty-three Water Street,
human
Well, said the man,
gpt
I can tell you one thing, if your precious boss ain't in this office Monday morning by nine o'clock sharp, he'll see me at one hundred an sixty-three Water Street, Orange, New Jersey, and he'll hand over my two thousand odd dollars that he's swindled me out of, or I'll have the law on him.
human
That feller had ought to have been knocked down,
gpt
So, Captain Carroll lives in Orange?
human
He may, for all I know.
gpt
Then you don't know?
human
Do you?
gpt
No; I never have known exactly.
human
Well, I haven't, but I wasn't goin' to let on to that chap. And he may live jest where I said he did, for all I know. Say!
gpt
What?
human
You s'pose it is all right?
gpt
Yes, he said.
human
I believe that Captain Arthur Carroll will pay every man he owes every dollar he owes.
gpt
Well, I guess it's all right, said Day.
human
I'm goin' to take the girls to Madison Square Garden to-night. I'm pretty short of cash, but you may as well live while you do live. I wonder if the boss is married.
gpt
I don't know.
human
I guess he is, said Day,
gpt
To let

Mr. Carroll gave up his office last Saturday, said the man in the elevator.
gpt
The janitor said so, and they have taken his safe out for rent. Guess he bust in the Wall Street shindy last week.
human
I call it a shame, she said,
gpt
Don't cry, May, said Day, with a caressing gesture towards her in spite of the place.
human
I guess it will be all right. He has all our addresses, and we shall hear, and you won't have a mite of trouble getting another place.
gpt
I think I am justified in telling you all not to worry in the least, that you will be paid every dollar,
human
It looks mighty black, his not sending us word he was going to close the office,
