"Who?" says Willie.
"Well, you don't know him," says I. "He's a friend of my pa's."
Willie didn't say nothin'.
Then I says, "Didn't you see a couple of men standin' on the back platform?"
"No," says Willie. "I can't be watchin' things like that when I'm takin' care of a switch and all that."
Mitch looked at me. We knew then it was all right. So I started in on the money.
"Look here, Willie, this here conductor hit us for two dollars, a dollar apiece for our fare to Havaner."
"No," says Willie.
"Honest, didn't he, Mitch?"
Mitch said, "Yep."
