human
Well, exclaimed Burton,
gpt
They escaped, answered Matt shortly.
human
And Haidee, Mr. Burton, is no longer an employee of the Big Consolidated.
gpt
What! cried Burton.
human
Do you mean to say she isn't going up on the aëroplane any more, and that she'll not touch off Roman candles or----
gpt
I told you she'd never do that, some time ago,
human
Well, anyhow, went on the showman, as soon as they had all alighted, and the owner of the car had got into it and tooted joyfully away,
gpt
Haven't time, Burton, said Matt.
human
Miss Manners is going to the best hotel in town, and I've got some telegrams to send.
gpt
Telegrams? Burton pricked up his ears and showed signs of excitement.
human
There isn't another show trying to hire you away from me, is there? Don't forget your written contract, Matt!
gpt
I'm not forgetting that, returned Matt, inclined to laugh.
human
The telegram I am going to send is to the British ambassador at Washington, and the cablegram I am going to get on the wires is to an attorney in London, England.
gpt
Jupiter! exclaimed Burton.
human
It looks to me as though you wouldn't get through in time to go on with section two of the show train.
gpt
We won't, continued Matt,
human
Your contract, sir! fumed Burton.
gpt
You are----
human
No repairs on the aëroplane would have been necessary, interrupted Motor Matt,
gpt
When I and my friends are ready to join you, went on the king of the motor boys,
human
Great! he cried.
gpt
But you won't be more than two days here, will you, Matt?
human
We'll try not to be.
gpt
And you'll scatter the paper?
human
Certainly.
gpt
Fine! I'll have it for you. Where'll I send it?
human
To the Bramble House.
gpt
It will be there. Make the bill for repairs as light as possible, and draw on me for the amount. That's fair, ain't it?
human
Just about.
gpt
Ask anybody and they'll tell you Boss Burton is the soul of honesty, and that every promise he makes in his paper is carried out to the letter. What will you do with the aëroplane?
human
McGlory and Ping will look after it to-night. Tomorrow they will have it removed to some place where we can work on it comfortably.
gpt
All right--have it your way. I'm the easiest fellow to get along with that you ever saw, when I see a chap is going to treat me square. Good luck to you--to all of you.
