"Do you want very much to go to the theatre, Dick?"
"Of course I do; but it aint no use. My credit aint good, and I haint no money in the bank."
"How much does it cost?"
"Fifteen cents, in the top gallery."
"Can you see there?"
"Yes, it's rather high up; but a feller with good eyes can see all he wants to there."
"I'll tell you what I'll do, Dick. You have been a good friend to me, and I'll take you at my expense."
"You will? To-night?"
"Yes."
"You're a reg'lar trump. We'll have a stavin' time. Sometime, when I'm flush, I'll return the compliment."
