Mighty attractive girl, that Miss Hasbrouck, said Frank that night as the boys were preparing to retire.
gpt
She's made a great hit with the team, did you notice it?
human
Did I notice it? cried the Codfish petulantly.
gpt
Yes, I noticed it. Where in the name of the Great Horn Spoon did she meet all those fellows?
human
Mutual attraction, I s'pose, said Frank.
gpt
I saw you holding forth with her mother most of the evening. Charming lady, eh?
human
O, yes, all right. Interested in philanthropy and all that sort of thing. Wanted me to help her raise something for the Widows and Orphans Fund for Sailors; subscription papers, and all that sort of thing.
gpt
And you're for it?
human
O, yes, Marjorie's mother you see. Couldn't do anything else. I've got to stand in right with her mother.
gpt
Noble youth, said Frank.
human
First catch the mother and the daughter will come easy. Is that it?
gpt
You have a glimmer of intelligence, Armstrong, a rare thing in your case.
human
We have him on the run, said McGregor the next morning at breakfast.
gpt
I suggest a round-robin letter to the young lady. How would this suit?
human
Will she take it all right, do you think?
gpt
Sure thing. The Codfish cuts no figure now since she's had a taste of bigger game. I'll write it out and get everyone to sign it.
human
Go to it, said Frank.
gpt
We must save our little Codfish.
