They visited a few minutes but it was a busy time for Lee and he forgot what a time killer he could be, at the other fellow's expense, so by way of dismissing Conger he said, "Well, there's nothing doing about the coal.

He nearly fell thru the floor and then Conger went on telling him that he had just come up to thank him for it.  Lee said it must have been the other fellow who sent it to you, and then added, "But I'll look it up and send you the bill" -- which he did.  If I ever see that man again, I'll push him into the gutter.  He never did a thing about it, and because he is comfortable all the time himself "he should worry" about anyone else.  I don't see how anyone can be so selfish.
