Fred, I say, he's bolted!
gpt
Who--the kid?
human
Yes.
gpt
He's a nice amiable young specimen, replied I.
human
When did he go?
gpt
I don't know. When I woke up he was gone.
human
Well, it's a good riddance, said I, who really did not see why Jack should be so afflicted about such a graceless young ragamuffin.
gpt
Do you know Mrs Nash has given us both warning over this business?
human
I don't care. But, I say, I wonder if he's hiding anywhere.
gpt
Not he. He's safe away, depend upon it, and if Mrs Nash had had any silver spoons they'd be safe away too.
human
I'm sorry he's gone.
gpt
I don't see why you should be, I said.
human
The ungrateful young cad! If it hadn't been for you he might have been killed.
gpt
He doesn't think so himself, he said.
human
He told me I'd no business to interfere between him and his `gal,' as he politely styles his mother. Poor little beggar! I dare say he'll catch it all the worse now. Hullo! I say! exclaimed Jack, feeling in his pockets.

I'm positive I had a shilling and two pennies in my pocket yesterday evening. I must have been robbed in that court!
