Wasn't your customer a young man I saw on the porch as I came in?
gpt
Yep. Lawford Tapp. Said he forgot some matches and a length o' ropeyarn. I reckon you went to that young man's head. And his top hamper ain't none too secure, Niece Louise.
human
Oh, did I? laughed the girl, understanding perfectly.
gpt
How nice.
human
Nice? That's how ye take it. Lawford Tapp ain't a fav'rite o' mine.
gpt
But he seemed very accommodating to-day when I asked him how to reach your store.
human
So you met him up town?
gpt
Yes, Uncle Abe.
human
He's perlite enough, scolded the storekeeper.
gpt
But I don't jest fancy the cut of his jib. Wanted to know if you was goin' to stop here.
human
Oh! exclaimed Louise.
gpt
That is what I want to know myself. Am I?
