Well, I've seen him,
gpt
Who?
human
Jip Collins, of course.
gpt
How'd you get in?
human
I was hangin' 'round there lookin' for a chance when your 'Lish Davis come along with a lawyer, an' I asked 'em to let me go in with them.
gpt
Mr. Davis took a lawyer there?
human
That's what he did, an' I tell you, Seth, that fireman is a jim dandy, an' no mistake!
gpt
Don't you s'pose I know that after all this time?
human
Yes; but yet you didn't think he'd do so much, eh?
gpt
He's mighty good to everybody. How was Jip lookin'?
human
Terrible down. You'd think he was expectin' to be hanged by the way he takes on. I felt awful sorry for him, even if he did burn us out.
gpt
What did he say?
human
Not much of anythin'; but kept cryin' 'bout all the time. Sam Barney must be feelin' awful good after makin' so much trouble.
gpt
Have you seen _him_?
human
If I had he'd be lookin' for a doctor. I'm jest achin' to get my hands on that duffer in some side street where the perlice won't come snoopin' 'round.
gpt
See here, Dan, you mustn't fight if you ever want to get that Third Avenoo store, for I tell you no feller gets ahead by bein' a tough. What did the lawyer say?
human
I didn't hear him yip; but reckon you'll know all about it after goin' over to Ninety-four's house.
gpt
That's where I'm bound for now. Wait outside for me, an' I'll come to you as soon as I can.
human
I don't suppose I could sneak in?
gpt
I'd rather you didn't, Dan, 'cause it would look as if I was gettin' mighty fresh to bring my chums along.
human
All right, old man; I'll wait outside.
