Well, I fancy you failed to find the lady you were looking for, said Havener.
gpt
But what's the matter? You look as if something has happened.
human
Something has,
gpt
Gol-darned ef I don't b'lieve it! exclaimed Ephraim.
human
Both yeou an' Hodge show it. Tell us abaout it.
gpt
Waal, said the Vermonter,
human
Not much, said Frank,
gpt
Didn't,
human
But you have acknowledged that you believed this was a man.
gpt
Yes, but this man was not the veiled woman I saw.
human
Wasn't?
gpt
Not much!
human
By Jove! exclaimed Frank.
gpt
The mystery deepens!
human
Did you mistake this person for the veiled woman I meant?
gpt
Sure thing.
human
And did not find another?
gpt
Not a sign of one. I do not believe there is another on the train.
human
Well, this is a mystery! confessed Hodge.
gpt
I saw nothing of the one I meant when I went to look for you.
human
It must be you saw no one but that man in the first place.
gpt
Do you think I would take that man for a woman with a perfect figure, such as you described? What in the world do you fancy is the matter with my eyes?
human
By gum! drawled Gallup.
gpt
This air business is gittin' too thick fer me. I don't like so much mystery a bit.
human
If that man was not the one you meant, Hodge, said Merry,
gpt
That's so,
human
Find her, urged Frank.
gpt
I want to get my eyes on her more than ever. Surely you should be able to find her.
human
I'll do it!
