I can,
gpt
So can I, spoke up Kent Carson.
human
I reckon my word is good here. I'll stand behind this young man.
gpt
Are you willing to put your name on the back of this check, Mr. Carson?
human
Hand it over,
gpt
There, he said,
human
I reckon you know it's good now.
gpt
Yes, said the teller.
human
There will be no delay now. Mr. Merriwell can draw on us at once.
gpt
That's all right, said the cattleman, in an offhand way.
human
I allow that a chap who will defend a ragged boy as you did is pretty apt to be all right. How long will it take to get your play in shape again?
gpt
Well, I may be three or four days rewriting it. I don't know how long the other work will be.
human
Three or four days. Well, say, why can't you come out to my ranch and do the work?
gpt
Really, I don't see how I can do that, declared Frank.
human
I must be here to see that the mechanical arrangement is put up right.
gpt
Now you must come, declared Carson.
human
I won't take no for your answer. You can give instructions for that business. I suppose you have a plan of it?
gpt
Not yet, but I shall have before night.
human
Can you get your business here done to-day?
gpt
I may be able to, but I am not sure.
human
Then you're going with me to-morrow.
gpt
I can't leave my friends who are----
human
Bring them right along. It doesn't make a bit of difference if there are twenty of them. I'll find places for them, and they shall have the best the Twin Star affords. Now, if you refuse that offer, you and I are enemies.
