Come to think of it, said another,
gpt
I saw the chap they call Codfish swing around to the hotel this morning in a red runabout and a little later saw the runabout going off up the street, but didn't notice who was in it. But I do know that all three seats were full.

That's enough, said Black.

Gleason thinks he is the sole and special guard of Armstrong's health and happiness, and hired that automobile for the purpose of keeping the jumper's mind occupied with something besides jumping. I agreed to it myself. Now we lose a man on account of it.

Thank goodness, broke in the captain,
gpt
He's punished already, said Black.
human
Probably eating his heart out somewhere. He's the most conscientious fellow I ever saw. It's his fool friend, the Codfish, who got him into any trouble that he's in.
gpt
I'll telegraph him to come on the next train,
human
Will not do much good, I guess, the next train wouldn't get him there in time. But don't worry, he'll be there at those games if he hasn't met with a serious accident, or I miss my guess badly, but as for his doing any good, it's another matter.
gpt
It's too bad, growled Captain Harrington.
human
The papers will throw the hot shot into us for being careless. It makes us all look like dummies, confound the luck!
gpt
Don't worry about it, Captain. You have enough on your hands, and Vare is a certain winner anyway in Armstrong's event. You have your own troubles this afternoon in the quarter. So take it easy, and quit worrying about something that really doesn't matter a great deal as far as actual results go.
human
I'm going to telegraph, just the same, returned the captain,
gpt
Go ahead, it will do no harm,
