Now, what do you think of that cove?
gpt
Why, said Dick, who was frowning in a puzzled manner,
human
Ah, but it ain't that, broke in Biggs,
gpt
I've been here every day, almost, and when I see him here every day, too, I soon found out he don't belong to the place. No; he's an ordinary customer, who pays his bob every morning when the show opens, and stays till closing-time. He's to be seen all over the Exhibition, but generally at the Hut--most always about the Hut.

Well, if he isn't paid for it, what on earth is his object?
gpt
Ah, said Mr. Biggs darkly,
human
I have a notion of my own about that, though some of the people that belong to this here place share it with me.
gpt
And?
human
And, said Mr. Biggs with emphasis,
gpt
Well, said Dick coolly,
human
I've seen him before, though I can't tell where. I remember his bulk and shape better than his face.
gpt
Yes? By Jove, my boy, you may be the very man he's after!

A detective--my oath!
gpt

Then do you think he's come over on purpose? It must be a big job.
human
I think he has. It must.
gpt
Ah, said Dick,
human
Quite likely, said Mr. Biggs.
gpt
There are plenty of his sort in this Colony, and as sharp as you'll find anywhere else, my word!
