human
Dat's first rate, complimented the professor.
gpt
Yer does dat like yer wuz a perfessional.
human
Great Scott! gasped Bruce.
gpt
I'd never torture myself in this way if I didn't have to! It is awful!
human
Dat's right, set right down--nit. Youse don't do dat no more in dis joint. Wen I gits yer yere, yer works till yer t'rough--see? Dat's der way ter pull der meat off er man.
gpt
Well, what's next?
human
See if yer can raise yer record anoder pound on der striker.
gpt
Has any one beaten me yet?
human
Naw. Dere ain't nobody come within ninety pound of yer.
gpt
Say! exclaimed Buster,
human
That's just what he is, nodded Bruce, streaming with perspiration.
gpt
He is a bad man to go against.
human
If yer ever gits at him wid dat left ye'll knock him out, sure.
gpt
He is like a panther on his feet, and I shall be in great luck if I find him with my left.
human
Yer don't want ter t'ink dat. Yer wants ter t'ink yer goin' ter find him anyhow. Dat's der way.
gpt
I have thought so before, and I have discovered that he is a wonderfully hard man to find.
human
Wen yer goin' ter fight him?
gpt
I am going to try to make him meet me one week from to-day.
human
Where?
gpt
I don't know yet.
human
Is he a squealer?
gpt
I don't believe you could drag anything out of him with horses.
human
If dat's right yer might make it yere, an' it could be kept quiet. I'd charge a little somet'ing fer der use of der room, but dat wouldn't come out of eder of youse, fer we'd make der fellers pay wot come in ter see it.
gpt
We'll see about that, said Bruce.
human
But now I want to know that trick.
gpt
Oh, yes. I near fergot dat.
human
Well, I didn't.
gpt
Say, if yer use dat on him I don't t'ink we can have der scrap here.
human
Why not?
gpt
If one of dem freshies got injuries in dis place so bad it might git out, an' dat would fix me.
human
I don't intend to use it on him unless I have to. Go ahead and explain your trick. If it isn't straight I want my money back.
gpt
Dere won't be any money back, fer der trick is all right, all right. Now stan' up here an' I'll show yer how it's did.
human
Yer wants ter snap it like dis, Buster explained, illustrating with a sharp, rebounding motion.
gpt
If yer strikes him right dere wid der cushion meat on der lower edge of yer hand an' snaps yer hand erway like dis, it's dead sure ter break der bone. Jes' try it on yer own wrist, but be careful not ter try it too hard.
human
Dat's ter trick, said Kelley,
