There's where the wire starts from the garage, d'ye see? said Jack, pointing.
gpt
You see how easily we can follow it--it runs along those poles, right beside the road.
human
It seems to be all right here,
gpt
Oh, yes. They wouldn't have cut it so near the village, said Jack.
human
We'll have to follow it along for a bit, I fancy--a mile or so, perhaps. Better not talk much, either. And, I say, hadn't we better stay in the shadow? They must have been watching us before--better not give them another chance, if we can help it,
gpt
I think it has been cut--and that we're near the place, too, he said then.
human
Look, Jack! There's probably a break not far from here.
gpt
Right, oh! said Jack.
human
Now we must be careful. I've just thought, Dick, that they might have left someone to watch at the place where they cut the wire.
gpt
Why, Jack?
human
Well, they might have thought we, or someone else, might come along to find out about it, just as we're doing. I'm beginning to think those beggars are mighty clever, and that if we think of doing anything, they're likely to think that we'll think of it. They've outwitted us at every point so far.
