"Always sold newspapers?"
"Mostly. Once in a while I blacked boots and carried baggage, but not very often."
"Are you related to Sam Pepper?"
"I don't think I am."
"Hasn't he ever told you anything about yourself?"
"He has and again he hasn't. He told me some things that I don't believe are true, George."
"Humph! Well, I wouldn't trust him too much."
"I don't trust him at all, since the time he tried to help Mr. Bulson against Miss Gertrude."
"It's queer that Bulson is so possessed to marry Miss Horton, when she doesn't care for him."
