You like that man?
gpt
Of course! said Hetty.
human
If I hadn't I wouldn't have had him here.
gpt
You needn't ask Walter. There are two people he believes in before anybody else, and Mr. Sewell's one of them.
human
And I guess I know who the other is,
gpt
No, she said reflectively,
human
I don't think you do. It doesn't matter who she is, anyway, and you haven't told me what you think of Mr. Sewell.
gpt
The man has grit. Still, I haven't much use for his notion of going round trailing out trouble.
human
It isn't difficult to find it,
gpt
Well, said Tomlinson,
human
I'm not going to light out when it comes along my way; but I guess I'll wait until it does, like a sensible man, and just now I have no use for any. Our folks in Oregon are poor, and if my luck holds out there's an old woman who's had 'bout as much trouble as she can bear going to have an easy time the rest of her life.
gpt
Well, I'll go along now. I guess Sewell means well. Good night.
human
It seems to me that Tomlinson's recommendation didn't go very far,
gpt
Did you expect anything else? When a man who could have made himself almost anything he wished gives himself up to a life of privation for the good of his fellows, it's a little gained when men of Tomlinson's description are willing to admit that he probably has good intentions.
