Very well, answered Dick, as quietly as he could,
gpt
I'll report to the major. Good night!
human
Um!
gpt
Well?
human
Not well--bad. I was caught.
gpt
By whom?
human
Porter.
gpt
Porter. Hum! Was he in earnest about it?
human
He seemed so,

Sentry-go is no fun, but as long as we're at a military school we have to do it once in a while. Still if enough of us enforced the rules, as I suppose we ought to do, there'd be one of two things happen. They'd either abolish it, or running the guard would stop, and there wouldn't be anything for the sentries to do.
gpt
That's so. Well, I'm the goat to-night. Might as well have a bad job over with. I'm going to report.
human
Then you didn't see Hatfield?
gpt
No, we'll have to wait until morning to hear.
