It is better this way, Jim, she said.

Oh, why did he come here? Why did he come?

What's the matter with you? growled Patterson, allowing matters to take their course.
gpt
What interest have you in that boy?
human
I don't know, indeed I don't; but he is a nice boy, and he looks so like my brother!
gpt
Oh, hang your brother! What has your brother got to do with him?
human
Look at him, Jim; isn't he a handsome boy? And he treated me at the store as if I were a real lady.
gpt
Now, then, you soft-hearted thing, go and find a piece of line for me to tie him with,
human
You won't do anything to him while I'm gone, will you, Jim?
gpt
Why should I? He's down and out now for six or eight hours, which will give us time to skip. There's nothing in the house, except our trunks and duds that belong to us, for we took the place furnished. When the servant returns in the morning she'll find the boy and liberate him. By that time we'll be a long way on our way West. We have cleaned up quite a stake since we've been here, and can live on Easy street for a while. I'm afraid I made a mistake in pulling off this last trick. There isn't enough in it for the risk we ran. You ought to have bought more diamonds while you were about it.
human
I was afraid to buy too much lest it should have excited suspicion,

We won't quarrel over it. Go and get the line.
