Was he talking to you?
gpt
Nothing in particular,
human
Why don't you fire him, George?
gpt
What's the use? The next one would be no better. He turned his attention to Evan.
human
Your references were satisfactory, he said.
gpt
You may consider yourself engaged. Thirty-five dollars was the sum we agreed on, I believe.
human
No, sir, forty dollars,
gpt
Ah, my mistake. It's a great deal of money. I hope you'll be worth it. You will be at my father's call whenever he wants you.
human
I will come at nine o'clock every morning and stay until five. Sundays are my own of course.
gpt
On your part, if I pay out all this money, you must promise me that you will not go out except with this young man.

I will report at nine to-morrow,
gpt

human
You've had quite enough outing for to-day, Papa,
gpt
Well, your wages won't begin until to-morrow, then. To-day doesn't count.
