Fine,
gpt
But how could he find us?
human
The same as any good woodsman would. Follow the trail.
gpt
I'll stay with him. If he can't find the trail, I can,
human
I pity Tad if you remain with him,
gpt
I will blaze the trail so they can't miss it, Professor. We shall have three or four days for exploration before Butler and Brown get in, then we will move on. By the way, Master Tad, when you get your money you might drop into the bank and take up that note if you wish. If it is going to make you short, of course the note may stand until I get back.
human
Take it up, by all means, ordered the Professor.
gpt
The favor has been a big one to us. We shall never forget it.
human
Then you are going to take a new trail from here?
gpt
Yes. We will follow the trail you took in coming in here for, say five miles, after which we shall branch off. You will find the turning-off place clearly marked.
human
Oh, I will see that he doesn't get lost, declared Chunky.
gpt
You leave it all to me.
human
Yes, if you are looking for trouble, leave it to Chunky,
