Now, when you tell me about the missing plans, and you conclude that Andy is doing some underhanded work, I agree with you. But I go a step farther. I don't believe he's out of town at all.
gpt
Why not?
human
Because when he has an airship shed right in his own backyard, where, you tell me, he once made a craft in which he tried to beat you out in the trip to Alaska, when you think of that, doesn't it seem reasonable that he'd use that same building in which to make his new craft?
gpt
Yes, it does, admitted Tom slowly,
human
Well, what everybody says is generally not so. I think you'll find that Andy is keeping himself in seclusion, and that he's working secretly in his shop, building a machine with which to beat you.
gpt
Do you, really?
human
I certainly do. Have you been around his place lately?
gpt
No. I've been too busy; and then I never have much to do with him.

Then take my advice, and see if you can't get a look inside that shop. You may see something that will surprise you. If you find that Andy is infringing on your patented ideas, you can stop him by an injunction. You've got this model patented, I take it?
gpt
Oh, yes. I didn't have at the time the plans were stolen, but I've patented it since. I could get at him that way.
human
Then take my advice, and do it. Get a look inside that shed, and you'll find Andy working secretly there, no matter if his cronies do think he's out of town.

I believe I will,
