Oh, by the way. I had somebody chased up to Pleasantville to see about the cops who wanted to arrest you. They were all gone. The pilot up there says it was a peach of a scrap and he ought to know; he's been in some himself. Rather lucky for you, you were not alone, eh Professor? They didn't expect any one to be with you.

It was not luck, Mr. Hite. John insisted on coming along with me. Anyone would think to hear him talk that I am unable to take care of myself, but perhaps it was fortunate after all that he and Hale were there. Don't laugh at Hale's eye; he got it in that fight.

Huh, huh, I see. Anything I can do for you, Professor, while we're waiting for a report?
gpt
I should like to send some telegrams, Mr. Hite, please.

Why, sure, wires, phones, anything. Jimmy'l help you; he knows the ropes.
gpt
What a perfectly astonishing person. He literally takes your breath away. Is that his manner all the time, Hale?
human
No, not all the time, Professor. Usually he's worse.
