Hello! called the policeman, as Sunny Boy and Grandpa Horton came close to the shore.

Thought you'd try it again, did you? Where were you yesterday during the big excitement?
human
Do you know, I thought about the little chap, said the policeman kindly.
gpt
I knew you were with him; but I said, suppose the crowd tears 'em apart from each other? I know what a crowd can do when it loses its head, you see. All the time I was telling girls they were not drowned, I kept one eye open for the little boy, but I didn't catch a glimpse of him. You say an older lad pulled him ashore?
human
Yes, and he ran away when I said I was going to try to find you, said Sunny Boy, standing up, now that the skates were off.

He was just as nice, but he is afraid of policemen.

Then he is a silly boy, and you tell him I said so, answered the tall policeman promptly.

Of course a bad boy might not want to see me; but this was a mighty good lad, to my way of thinking. He has an old head on young shoulders, to get you out of such a mix-up without a scratch.
