Good evening, Mr. Randolph, said the banker, greeting Herbert very cordially.
gpt
I hope you have a good report of today's transactions for me.
human
Yes, I think this statement of the transactions will please you,
gpt
Excellent, exclaimed the banker with a smile of satisfaction, as he read the report.
human
You have done a splendid day's work. The market must have been unusually active. Why, here is a transaction of twenty thousand shares by one house alone--great customers, Breakwell & Co., great customers, bold men--not afraid of anything.
gpt
They certainly seem to be very enterprising,
human
Most assuredly they are, answered the banker, warming to the subject.
gpt
Why, if we had more houses like Breakwell & Co., Wall Street would see no dull days--no, sir, none at all. On the contrary, it would just hum with activity.
human
I suppose they are perfectly good, Mr. Goldwin,
gpt
Good? Why, they are rated A1, and are reported to be very rich,
human
Did they make their money by speculating?
gpt
Yes, I understand so.
human
Are they sure of keeping it if they continue to speculate?
gpt
Well, now, you are asking me a difficult question. Nothing, you know, is certain in Wall Street.
