"Where do you come from?"
"I live in New York too."
"I'd like to see New York. I'd go there if my father would let me."
"I am not sure but you are better off here. Some boys have a hard time making a living in New York."
"I thought everybody in New York was rich."

"If you ain't a friend of Mr. Bowman, as you call him," said the boy, lowering his vice, "I'll tell you something."
"I wish you would. Mr. Bowman is not a friend of mine, but there is no one else to keep company with, so I go round with him."
"I know where he has hidden his money."
