Wait; I would ask a question, or two first, before we venture further. I was brought in this way, yet my memory is not clear. There are two log houses before the cave?
gpt
Yes, he answered readily,
human
Besides Cateras?
gpt
No, not at present; at times I have guests. It would be pleasurable to entertain you, and your friend.
human
No doubt. You expect Lacy?
gpt
You know that also? How did you learn?
human
I heard you talk to the men at the other end. It is true, is it not?
gpt
I have sent for him; it was yesterday.
human
And he could be here now?
gpt
Not before night; it is a hard ride; why ask all this?
human
I have reasons. Now another thing; where are your men?
gpt
There will be one or two in the bunk-house likely; the others are with the cattle up the valley.
human
But none in your cabin?
gpt
And you say Lacy cannot get here before dark? How late?
