"Good job, too." Phil had learned something. He had noted every movement of the billposter. "How long does it take to learn to post, Billy?" he asked. "Some fellows never learn. Others get fairly expert after a few weeks puttering around." "May I try one today?" "Sure thing. If the next one is easy I will give you a chance at it."
