“Why of course I don’t want you to have bad luck.”
“Thank you. You are very considerate.”
“Suppose you lose your place, shall you go back to selling papers?”
“I hope to find something better to do.”
“Where are you going now?”
“To get some lunch.”
“So am I. Suppose we go together.”
“Very well, providing you will lunch with me.”
“I don’t want to impose upon you.”
“You won’t. We may not meet again for some time, and we shall have this meal to remind us of each other.”
