Where are you off to now, Amateur?
gpt
Out chasin' nickels. It's time we hustled if we expect to find lodgin's between now an' night.
human
Flash up here about three o'clock this afternoon, and if I ain't in, wait for me.
gpt
All right, sir.
human
What do you s'pose he's got on hand for you at three o'clock?
gpt
Most likely he don't want his boots shined till then.
human
It must be somethin' more'n that,
gpt
Of course it ain't. What else could he want of me?
human
Perhaps he's goin' to give you somethin' for what you did last night.
gpt
I'll feel awful bad if he does.
human
I'd like to know why?
gpt
I don't see as--Jimminey! but there's Jip Collins! Ain't he got the nerve to be snoopin' 'round here? Say, we can nab him easy as a wink if you say the word!
human
I don't want to have him arrested. Anything like that wouldn't bring back our lodgin's.
