It is no use. We shall have to wait until he gets ready to come down, decided Mr. Sparling.
gpt
How did he get away?
human
He won't come down today, added the man.
gpt
That is, so long as we are here. He is a bad one.
human
You do not have to tell me that. Can any of you offer suggestions? I am not very strong on capturing escaped animals. Phil, how about it?
gpt
I have an idea, Mr. Sparling,
human
I knew you had, from the expression on your face. What is it?
gpt
I'll climb up and shake him down.
human
You couldn't climb up there. The mast is too slippery.
gpt
I'll show you.
human
Very well; go ahead.
gpt
Teddy, I think I would keep out of this, were I in your place,
human
You keep out of it yourself. I'll show you that I know how to catch wild beasts. I haven't ridden January all this time for nothing.
