There's my idea! exclaimed Joe, aloud.
gpt
Or one of them, anyhow.
human
Did you speak to me?
gpt
No, sir. I beg your pardon. I just thought of something.
human
Oh, I see,
gpt
Well?
human
I'll have a goldfish sundae,
gpt
What? Say, come again, young fellow! This isn't a joke shop,
human
Oh, I beg your pardon, Joe hastened to say.
gpt
I mean a chocolate nut sundae. I was thinking of goldfish--that's all.
human
That's different, laughed the clerk.
gpt
I thought you were trying to jolly me with the name of a new drink.
human
I wonder if Jim Tracy will stand for it, he mused.
gpt
I've a good notion to do it without asking him. If he doesn't like it he can say so, and no great harm's done. I'll stand the expense myself. If I could get hold of the inheritance Bill Watson thinks ought to come to me through my mother, I'd pull off a still bigger stunt in this tank act. But I guess I'll never get any money from England.
human

gpt
I'll do it and trust to luck.
