10/21 He's the one I spoke of as my partner; and the truth is that's what it's just about goin' to amount to, one o' these days--if his health holds out. Well, you remember, I expect, I had him on a machine over at a plant o' mine; and sometimes I'd kind o' sneak in there and see how he was gettin' along. Take a doctor with me sometimes, because Bibbs never WAS so robust, you might say. Ole Doc Gurney--I guess maybe you know him? He told me to look out, but I wouldn't listen, and I didn't look out--and that's how I got my hand hurt, tryin' to show Bibbs how to do something he knew how to do and I didn't. |
