Have you done anythin' yet?
gpt
There's nothin' we can do. Jip's locked up, an' Sam Barney's struttin' 'round the streets showin' hisself off for a first-class detective,
human
Do you know how he happened to nab him?
gpt
It must have been that Denny Macey give him away, Bill Dean replied,
human
Do you s'pose he stayed on the street after that?
gpt
Denny knew where he slept last night, and must have told Sam, jest as some of the fellers say he threatened to do.

Well, Seth said after a brief reflection,
gpt
We was waitin' for you. I thought, an' so did Dan, that perhaps the driver of Ninety-four might cook up some kind of a plan we could work through. Anyhow, it don't seem as though it would do much harm for you to talk with him.
human
Of course it won't; but if it wasn't that Jip's likely to be sent to jail for a good many years I wouldn't bother him, 'cause it don't seem the square shake for me to keep runnin' there whenever things turn wrong.
gpt
It would be pretty tough to let Jip be sent up for four or five years jest 'cause you didn't want to bother Ninety-four's crew.
human
I know that, Bill, an' I'm goin' to talk to Mr. Davis now. I was only sayin' I wouldn't do it if things wasn't the way they are. I'll go ahead, an' you fellers meet me up to the room after I get through, 'cause it won't do for all hands to loaf 'round in front of the engine-house.
