You won't get away now! growled the sailor.
gpt
Come on! Drive along that old bundle of bones you call a horse! he ordered the junk man.
human
We got to get out of here! That boy may be along any minute, and I don't want him to see me!
gpt
You goin' t' sell de dog? asked the junk man, who had agreed to help the sailor. On his part the ragged old man of the sea had promised to help the junk man unload his wagon that night.
human
You goin' t' sell him?
gpt
Sell him? No, I guess not! Think I want to sell my luck? I never had any luck since this pup was washed overboard! That's why I wanted him back. Now I got him.
human
But what good is he if you can't sell him?
gpt
Oh, a dog's good for something else than selling, declared the sailor.
human
They bring you luck! I'm going to keep this one. Course I'll have to watch him that he don't run away, but when I get him on a ship he can't run off. I've got him all right now!
