“You and Morris friends?”
“Yes, sir. That is, we—we know each other pretty well.”

“Why, yes, sir, but—but we don’t see each other much.”
“Doesn’t he like you?”
“I think so. He seems to.”
“Did he say anything to you about an automobile, Merrick?”
“Yes, sir, he mentioned it.” Gordon began to wish himself away.
“Ever drive one of the things?”
“No, sir.”
