Oh, that was ripping, Harry! cried Dick.
gpt
But do you think you've killed him?
human
Killed him? No! said Harry, with a laugh.
gpt
He's tougher than that, Dick!
human
I wish I knew what to do with him, he said.
gpt
He'll come to in a little while. But--
human
We can get away while he's still out, said Dick, quickly.
gpt
He can't follow us and we can get such a start with our motorcycles--
human
Yes, but he'll know their game is up, said Harry.
gpt
Don't you see, Dick? He'll tell them they're suspected--and that's all they'll need in the way of warning. When men are doing anything as desperate as the sort of work they're up to in that house, they take no more chances than they have to. They'd be off at once, and start up somewhere else. We only stumbled on this by mere accident--they might be able to work for weeks if they were warned.
human
Oh, I never thought of that! What are we to do, then?
gpt
I wish I knew whether anyone saw us from the house! If they didn't--! Well, we'll have to risk that. Dick, do you see that house over there? It's all boarded up--it must be empty.
human
Yes, I see it. Dick caught Harry's idea at once this time, and began measuring with his eye the distance to the little house of which Harry had spoken.
gpt
It's all down hill--I think we could manage it all right.
human
We'll try it, anyhow, said Harry.
gpt
But first we'd better tie up his hands and feet. He's too strong for the pair of us, I'm afraid, if he should come to.
