Good, said Tom.
gpt
But, what are you going to do next, Dick? How are you going to get into their encampment?
human
I decided on my course, Tom, he said,
gpt
What are you going to do?
human
I'm going to enter the British encampment boldly and tell them that I want to join the army.
gpt
Goodness! That will be dangerous, brother!
human
Yes, but one can't do spy-work without encountering danger.
gpt
I know that. Do you think that you can succeed, Dick?
human
I'm going to try.
gpt
Will they take you into the army-a boy like you?
human
General Washington did.
gpt
But the British army may be different. They may think that they don't need help badly enough for them to accept boys as recruits.
human
Well, even if that is the case, I will succeed in entering the British encampment, Tom.
gpt
That's so. That part will be all right.
human
Yes.
gpt
When are you going to approach the encampment? Now?
human
Yes, I don't see any use of waiting.
gpt
What shall I do?
human
You had better stay right here or in this vicinity.
gpt
All right. When do you think you will be back?
human
I don't know. Possibly to-morrow night.
gpt
I'm to wait till you come?
human
Yes.
gpt
But, I'll get hungry before to-morrow night.
human
Go to a farmhouse in the morning and get some food. There must be farmhouses near.
gpt
That's so. I can do that.
human
Well, I may as well be going. Good-bye, Tom.
gpt
Good-bye, Dick; and-be careful, brother! If anything should happen to you, it would break mother's heart.
human
I'll be careful, Tom. You had better keep your eyes open, too, for the redcoats may come prowling around here to-morrow, and you must not let them capture you.
gpt
I'll not let them get me, brother.
