"He ought not, for I had just lent him a quarter."
"He said you were too proud to drink with him."
"That is true, though I wouldn't drink with one I had more respect for."
"He asked me where you kept your money. You'd better look out for him."
"I shall. I have no doubt he is capable of robbing me, and I would rather spend my own money myself."
"I'm not afraid of his robbing me," said Charlie.
"No, I suppose not; but I wish you would save some of your money, so as to have something worth stealing."
"Oh, I'll begin to save sometime."
