"Strong language, eh?"

"Phil, he can beat the boss canvasman in that line."

"I am surprised, Teddy Tucker."

"So was I."

"I don't mean that. I am surprised that you should so far forget
yourself as to do such a thing. I don't blame Diaz for being
angry, and I warn you that you had better look out for him.
Some of those foreigners have very violent tempers."

"Well, he didn't tell the boss, at any rate."

"No. Perhaps in the long run it might have been better for you
if he had. Diaz is awaiting his opportunity to get even with you
in his own way. Look out for him, Teddy."

"He had better look out for me."

"Don't irritate him. Were I in your place I should go to the
clown and apologize. Tell him it was a thoughtless act on your
part and that you are sorry you did it--"

"I won't."

"As you please, but that is what I would do."
