Maybe that cop wasn't the idiot he seemed, eh?
gpt
I don't understand it, Anthony said angrily.
human
I--David!
gpt
Good gracious! gasped David Prentiss, sitting up and staring about with eyes wide open.
human
What--I must have been asleep and----
gpt
Never mind that artistic amazement, David, he said sourly.
human
What were you trying to do?
gpt
Trying? echoed David.
human
To do?
gpt
Those are Wilkins's clothes. Where did you get them?
human
I don't know.
gpt
Yes, you do! Anthony snapped.
human
You must have found them in his room. Well?
gpt
Very well--I did find them in his room, he said.
human
I put them on because I couldn't find my own clothes, and I--I wanted to get to father.
gpt
Yes, and now you're going to father! Johnson Boller said decisively.
human
Better let him go, Anthony.
gpt
That's the only thing to do with me, he said heartily.
human
I'm too much of a nuisance to keep around, Mr. Fry; I'm so worried about father that I can't think of anything else. So now I'll go and----
gpt
So now you'll stay right here!
human
Why?
gpt
Because I've undertaken to show this kid the opportunity of his lifetime, and I'll drive it into his infernal little skull if I have to chloroform him and have a surgeon drill a hole to let it through!
human
I--I should think you'd be so out of patience with me----
gpt
I am, but I'm not going to drop the job on that account, Anthony said grimly.
human
Shed those clothes, David.
gpt
I'll shed 'em when you go out, David said monotonously.
human
I--I'd rather undress alone.
gpt
Are you actually going to keep the youngster here against his will?
human
I am!
gpt
I hope you get all that's coming to you! he said.
human
I hope he sues you for a million dollars and collects every penny of it!
