There's nothing the matter, is there?
gpt
I should say there was.
human
What is it? That bunco man didn't get the best of you, after all, did he?
gpt
Rather.
human
Well, he did soak it to you, for fair, he said.
gpt
He don't generally play that game; as a rule he works the thing in a more artistic way than that. Well, he got the money, all the same. It was a pretty good haul, too.
human
I don't see how he got that ring off my finger without waking me up,
gpt
Oh, he can do more than that, grinned the brakeman.
human
He'd manage to rob you of your eyeteeth if he happened to take a fancy to them. He's a daisy!
gpt
I wish you had warned me when you saw him talking to me on the train.
human
I couldn't very well do that; but I kept an eye on you both, and if I had seen him up to any funny business, I should have spoken. Hasn't he left you any money at all?
gpt
Not a cent.
human
Well, see here, I'll let you have a few dollars if you'll promise to return 'em as soon as you get funds.
gpt
Of course I will, and I am very much obliged to you,
human
Here you are, then.
gpt
Give me your address, said Al,
human
I don't want anything to boot. I'll write down my address, if you'll lend me a pencil a minute.
