If you can put up with me, for a bit, said Westlake.
gpt
I've come partly on business, Bourke. I've left Casey Town.
human
You're more than welcome, he said.
gpt
Any one with you?
human
No, I came over with a machine from the garage at Hereford, he said.
gpt
I'll get my things and send him back.
human
Quit Keith?
gpt
Yes, we had a misunderstanding. About my staying here, Bourke. It may be a bit awkward. Young Donald Keith intends coming over. I am sure he doesn't know a thing about his father's business affairs. But I have a strong hunch that Keith himself will be along later to offset any talk he thinks I may have with you. He'll figure I've come here. He doesn't know all that I have found out, at that. If it's likely to embarrass you or your guests in the least I'll go on to Denver to-morrow. I'm headed that way. I've got a South American proposition in view. Wired them yesterday and may hear at any minute.
human
Shucks! said Sandy.
gpt
Yo're my friend. Young Keith don't interest me, save as Molly wants to entertain him. I'm under no obligations to Keith himse'f. Yo're my guest an' we'll keep you's long we can hold you in the corral. As fo' Molly, you don't know her. If it come to a show-down between you an' Keith, with you in the right, there ain't any question as to where she'd horn in.

I had no idea Miss Casey would be like--what she is,
gpt
Time fo' me to be trailin' back, said the spinster.
human
Moon's risin'. Good night, Mr. Westlake. See you ag'in before you go, I hope. I reckon you sure gave me good advice when you said to take cash fo' my claims.
gpt
Gels gone to bed, he announced.
human
What's Keith doin' up to Casey Town, Westlake?
gpt
It won't take long to tell you.
