"I saw him about two hours ago."
"Here?"
"Yes, he came off the boat from Brooklyn."
"I'm sorry I missed him. Do you know where he went?"
"Went to get some papers, I think. He stopped to talk to Len Snocks for a few minutes."
"Humph! Did he give Len anything?"
"I think he gave him a quarter."
"I'm sorry I missed him. He stole five dollars from me yesterday—nearly all I had saved up."
"Oh, Nelson! He ought to be arrested."
"It wouldn't do any good. The police wouldn't believe me, and I haven't any witnesses, excepting a young lady I don't know."
