"Here's Jim with a perfectly good automobile that don't seem to be busy." The big man responded cordially.

"Why, of course; I'll be glad to take you in." "Thank you," returned Patches.

"I'll be ready in a minute." "But you're goin' to have something to eat first," cried Mrs.Baldwin.
"I'll bet you're half starved; you sure look it." Patches shook his head.

"Don't tempt me, mother; I can't stop now." "But you'll come back home to-night, won't you ?" she asked anxiously.
"I would like to," he said.

"And may I bring a friend ?" "Your friends are our friends, son," she answered.
"Of course he's comin' back," said the Dean.
