Great Caesar, old man! why did you invite Gordon here?
gpt
I did not.
human
Then how does he happen to be here? He didn't come without an invitation, I am sure of that.
gpt
He was in Billy's when I asked Put to come up. I knew you would like to have Put here.
human
That's all right.
gpt
Well, Put asked Gordon to come along before I could prevent it. Of course I didn't have the crust to make any objection after that.
human
I should say not! It's all right, but you want to remember that the sophs found out something was going on. Did Gordon come right along with you?
gpt
No. He said he'd have to go to his room, but he showed up a few minutes after we arrived here.
human
Lots of mischief can be done in a few minutes. Did he know just what was going on here?
gpt
Well, he knew somebody had gone out into the country to swipe something for a feast.
human
And it is pretty plain that the sophs became aware of the same fact. Here is food for reflection, Dismal.
gpt
You are right.
