Yes,
gpt
I hope you ain't getting discouraged,
human
No, nothing will discourage me now,
gpt
But you hain't got no encouragement yet?
human
No, none whatever,
gpt
And you've been trying for three weeks to strike something?
human
Yes; it's nearer four weeks, and my shoes are worn out with walking.
gpt
But you know I have some money for you, and you better take it and buy you a new pair.
human
No, Bob, I will never take that except as a last resort. While I have my health I shall not allow myself to accept charity. I am not afraid to do any sort of work, and sooner or later I am confident that I shall find employment. This morning I earned seventy five cents shoveling snow from the stoops of houses. This sort of employment, however, is very uncertain, as so little snow falls here; but there are other odd jobs to be done, and I shall try and get my share of them.
gpt
I didn't know you was doing that kind of work, Herbert, said Bob, with a deep drawn sigh.
human
It ain't right for a boy with your learnin' to come down to that.
