Say, what do you want here?
gpt
Well, of all the mysteries I ever struck, exclaimed the young major.
human
Now, what can those chaps be up to? This is at least the third or fourth time they have come here, and nobody seems to know anything about them.
gpt
Perhaps you'll laugh at me, sir, he said.
human
But I want to report those two men again.
gpt
Again! cried the master of Putnam Hall.
human
Where did you see them?
gpt
At the boathouse. I went down there for a skate strap. They were just coming out.
human
Did you speak to them?
gpt
Yes, I asked them what they wanted. They didn't answer, and hurried away on the Cedarville road.
human
Did they take anything out of the boathouse?
gpt
I don't know.
human
I must assuredly investigate this, Major Ruddy. Let us go to the boathouse together.
gpt
Why can't we follow them up once? questioned Jack.
human
We ought to be able to overtake them in a cutter.
gpt
A good idea. I'll have Snuggers get a cutter ready at once. Get your overcoat and your gloves.
