What's your name?
gpt
Dodo Alexander,
human
Humph! Baptized that name?
gpt
Yes--no, oh NO. I never was baptized, I reckon.
human
Humph--a heathen, I see! snarled the policeman.
gpt
Well, where do you live, or where'd you hail from?
human
From the Cannibal Isles.
gpt
Be careful, young lady, or I'll take you along for contempt of court.
human
But you are not arresting _me_, and this is not Court,
gpt
Oh, goodness me! Is he going to arrest me?
human
If you don't answer my questions promptly, I'll arrest you,
gpt
Well, I am from Denver, Colorado, where folks don't fuss like you do in the East, just because you cross a street to get to the other side!
human
From Denver! Got a New York license to drive?
gpt
No, I haven't, but I've driven all over England and the Continent this Summer--as these girls will tell you. They were in the party.
human
It's nothing to me whether you drove up the Matterhorn and down the other side; as long as you can't show me a plain old American license, you'll have to pay the costs.
gpt
How much is it?
human
I don't know. You'd better follow me to the police station and we'll see.
