April 28. Two flivvers. $0.
gpt
Jacobs attached your account at the Garfield Bank to-day on that fifty-thousand-dollar note.
human
That's my first good laugh to-day, returned Johnny.
gpt
I have no funds there.
human
Gresham thought you had, said Loring quietly.
gpt
A trap was laid to make him think so, and he walked right into it.
human
As soon as I have any place to keep a goat I'll get Gresham's, declared Johnny.
gpt
So he's really in on it.
human
He's scared,
gpt
I hope he's right, returned Johnny.
human
I do wish they'd let me alone, though, till Thursday, June first.
gpt
Guilty! he acknowledged as soon as he heard her voice.
human
I'm caught up with my schedule. At four o'clock I'll be ten thousand dollars behind. Everything I touch crawls right back in its shell.
gpt
They'll come out again, she encouraged him.
human
I didn't call you up, as your score keeper, to tell you that from this hour you will be running in debt to yourself, but that one of your projects has come to life again.
gpt
Which one is that?
human
The property owned by that lady on Riverside Drive. I see by this morning's paper that the working-girls' home is not to be built. I suppose you already know it, however.
gpt
I overlooked that scandal, he confessed.
human
Wasn't the building to be ugly enough?
gpt
This was a little obscure paragraph, she told him.
human
It was rather a joking item, based upon the fact that there is a great deal of ill feeling among the neighbors, who clubbed together and bought the option to prevent a building of this character from being erected. I'm so glad you didn't know about it!
