People with money seem to be watching it on Mondays,
gpt
They have to sleep some time, Polly quickly reminded him.
human
Your day for a nap was Saturday.
gpt
I'm guilty, admitted Gresham with a frowning glance at Johnny.
human
My trance--day before yesterday--cost me fifteen thousand. I shan't forget it soon.
gpt
I'll bet you never will!
human
Johnny was awake that day, declared Colonel Bouncer, laughing heartily and reaching over to slap Gamble affectionately on the shoulder.
gpt
He's fifteen thousand better off; and I guess he won't forget that in a hurry.
human
I've forgotten it now, asserted Johnny.
gpt
Colonel, I want to talk with you about some stock in a big hotel opposite the new terminal station.
human
Bless my soul--NO! almost shouted the colonel.
gpt
I nearly got tangled up in my friend Courtney's terminal hotel scheme--and I'm scared yet.
human
Courtney? repeated Johnny.
gpt
That's the name they gave me at Mallard & Tyne's office this afternoon. They told me that he has tied up the only available block the railroad company overlooked.
human
Tied it up! exploded the colonel.
gpt
Bless my soul, it has him tied up! Courtney's company blew so high that none of the pieces has come down yet. Meantime his enthusiasm is likely to cost him a round two and a quarter million dollars.
human
He must have had a high fever, commented Johnny.
gpt
How could a man be so forgetful of that much money?
human
He thought his friends were game, explained the colonel;
gpt
And now he can't unspike it, guessed Johnny smilingly.
human
Watch out, Colonel!
