I am getting anxious about Dodger, said Florence.
gpt
It is nine o'clock.
human
And what's nine o'clock for a boy like him? Shure he's used to bein' out at all hours of the night.
gpt
I shall feel relieved when he comes home. What should I do without him?
human
Shure I'd miss him myself; but it isn't the first time he has been out late.
gpt
Perhaps that terrible Tim Bolton has got hold of him,
human
Tim isn't so bad, Florence. He isn't fit company for the likes of you, but there's worse men nor Tim.
gpt
Didn't he send out Dodger to commit a burglary?
human
And if he hadn't you'd never made Dodger's acquaintance.
gpt
That's true; but it doesn't make burglary any more excusable. Don't you really think Tim Bolton has got hold of him?
human
If he has, he won't keep him long, I'll make oath of that. He might keep him over night, but Dodger would come back in the morning.
