Well, how are you getting along after your dose of last night?
gpt
First-rate, sir. We're as well as ever; but feelin' mighty mean to think we used your bed an' kept you up all night.
human
You didn't do anything of the kind, lad. We got back about four o'clock, and I found plenty of spare beds for the short nap I wanted. I reckon you lost everything you owned, eh?
gpt
Yes, sir; but that wasn't very much. My box, brushes, and what we had brought home for breakfast.
human
How will you get another outfit?
gpt
I guess I've got money enough for a second-hand box and brushes; but if I haven't some of the fellers will lend me what's needed, an' I'm goin' now to pick up the things, so's to get back in time to do the shinin' here.
human
There are brushes and blacking belonging to the house, and you can use them this morning, which will give you a little extra towards buying a new outfit. Haven't been to breakfast yet, have you?
gpt
That don't count, even if we haven't, 'cause we can get something later,
