The boy's really coming?
gpt
I'm telling you.
human
You heard from him?
gpt
Got a wire the day he got my letter.
human
You've told Bum?
gpt
I told him right away. I had to do it. The old boy was sober by then, and crazy for a shot of booze. That was Monday. He wanted to go out and get pied; but when I told him about his boy, he begun to cry. And he ain't touched a drop since then.
human
You haven't let him?
gpt
Sure I'd let him. But he wouldn't. I always told you the class was there. He says to me: 'I can't let my boy see me in this state, you know. Have to straighten up a bit. I'll need new clothes.'
human
I noticed his new suit.
gpt
Sure, Sheener agreed.
human
I bought it for him.
gpt
Out of his savings?
human
He ain't been saving much lately.
gpt
Sheener, I asked,
human
He don't owe me a cent.
gpt
I know. But how much have you spent on him?
human
If I hadn't have give it to him, I'd have blowed it somehow. He needed it.
gpt
I'm telling you, he's my pal, he said.
human
I'm not looking for anything out of this.
gpt
If this millionaire son of his has any decency, he'll make it up to you.
human
He don't know a thing about me, said Sheener,
gpt
And the boy gets in to-night?
human
Midnight, said Sheener, and Evans, from his chair, echoed:
gpt
Midnight! Then asked with a certain stiff anxiety:
human
Do I look all right, Sheener? Look all right to see my boy?
gpt
Say, Sheener told him.
human
You look like the Prince of Wales. He went across to where the other sat and gripped him by the shoulder.
gpt
You look like the king o' the world.
