Finally, they decided to run a smallnear the railway station. The restaurant often stayed open until after midnight, people came to drink there while they were waiting for trains.
At two o'clock one morning, a man was still sitting attable in the restaurant. He was asleep. Kate wanted to go to bed. She looked at the table several, and each time the man was still there. Then, at last she went to her husband and said to him, "You've talked to that man three times, and he isn't drinking any more. Why haven't you sent him? After all, it's so late."
"Oh, no, I don't want to send him away," answered Dick a smile. "You see, every time I up the man, he asks for the bill, and when I bringto him, he pays it. Then he goes back to sleep again."
