What's the matter with me?
gpt
You're a confounded idiot!
human
Well, I must say I like your plain language! exclaimed Fowler, coloring and looking decidedly touched.
gpt
You were in a bad temper when we started for Denver, but you seem to be worse now. What's the matter?
human
Oh, I see now that I've put a foot in the soup. I am broke, and I need money. All I am liable to get is the two weeks salary I shall receive from Merriwell. If I'd kept my mouth shut I might have a new engagement with him, like the others.
gpt
Then some of the others have a new engagement?
human
All of them, I reckon, except you and I. We are the fools of the company.
gpt
Well, what shall we do?
human
Can't do anything but keep still and swallow our medicine.
gpt
Perhaps you think that, but I'm going to hit Merriwell up.
human
Well, you'll be a bigger fool if you do, after the calling down you received from him to-day.
