Hello, there!
gpt
What do you want?
human
Catch this paper, and read what there is on it.
gpt
I'll go around to the door and inquire.
human
What's wanted, boss?
gpt
You've got a boy locked up in a room.
human
Who told you, boss?
gpt
He threw down a paper to me, telling me he was kept a prisoner.
human
What did he say?
gpt
What have to say to that, you black imp?
human
Dat boy is crazy as a loon, boss! he answered, readily.
gpt
We have to keep him shut up for fear he'll kill some of us.
human
You don't say! ejaculated the young mechanic.
gpt
He don't look like it.
human
No, he don't; dat's a fact, boss. Fact is, dat boy is the artfullest lunytick you ever seed. He tried to kill his mother last week.
gpt
Is that true?
human
Dat's so, boss. And all de while he looks as innocent as a baby. If I was to let him out he'd kill somebody, sure.
gpt
I never would have believed it,
human
If you want to take the risk, boss, you might go up and see him. I believe he's got a carvin'-knife about him, but I don't dare to go up and get it away. It would be as much as this niggah's life is worth.
gpt
No, answered the young man, hastily.
human
I don't want to see him. I never did like crazy folks. I'm sorry I gave you the trouble to come to the door.
gpt
Oh, no trouble, boss.
human
I guess I've fixed dat boy! chuckled Julius.
gpt
Ho, ho! he can't get ahead of old Julius! Crazy as a loon, ho, ho!
