You kept the thing kind of quiet. Told nobody yet?
gpt
Only one of the policemen. We were too busy to spend a good deal of the day coming over to let the boys know, though Ingleby was thinking of going across to-night. You have a good claim already, and you can't hold more than one, you know.
human
That's quite right, he said.
gpt
It's kind of unfortunate Sewell isn't here. You don't know where he is?
human
No, said Ingleby.

He has been away for two days looking for a deer. I suppose anybody pegging off a claim next to ours would strike gold?
human
It's quite likely. He'd get the colour, sure, but when the creek that washed the metal out was running it dropped the heavy stuff only here and there. Anyway, the chances would be good enough, I figure. What policeman was it you told?
gpt
Probyn.
human
Oh, yes! he said.
gpt
He's quite often hanging around here.
