Fine,
gpt
Are you going to be one of us?
human
I don't know yet.
gpt
It's a rummy joint.
human
So I gather,
gpt
Have you seen the Missus yet?
human
No.
gpt
Oh boy! You've got something to see!
human
Were you planted here?
gpt
What do you mean?
human
Oh nothing. He glanced towards the little door.
gpt
When you work for a bunch like this you don't feel like you owed them anything. It's every man for himself.
human
I suppose so,
gpt
But there's a square bunch down-stairs. Come down to the butler's room when you can and get acquainted.
human
Thanks.
gpt
Take it from me you won't find it such a bad house if you stand in with the crowd down-stairs. There's money to be made on the side if you're smart enough.
human
How?
gpt
Let's you and I get better acquainted before we get confidential.
human
Sure, said Evan.
gpt
I see you're a wise guy.
human
Wise! said the other.
gpt
Solomon wasn't one two three with me.
human
What do they call you?
gpt
Alfred. I'll make you acquainted with the bunch down-stairs. The women----
human
If you please, sir, said Alfred quickly,
gpt
Mr. Hilton sent me to ask what wines you would have for dinner.
human
I'm busy! snapped George Deaves.
gpt
Tell Hilton when I want wine I'll let him know.
human
Yes, sir, very good, sir.
