Doctor! I cried in a trembling voice.
gpt
What have you done to Professor Boomly?
human
I've settled _him_! he said.
gpt
If you don't want to get all over dust you'd better keep out--
human
Quint! I cried.
gpt
Are you crazy?
human
Pretty nearly. Let me alone--
gpt
Where is Boomly! I demanded in a tragic voice.
human
Where is your old friend, Billy Boomly? Where is he, Quint? And what does _that_ mean--that pool of blood on the floor? Whose is it?
gpt
It's Bill's,
human
What! I exclaimed.
gpt
Do you admit that?
human
Certainly I admit it. I told him I'd terminate him if he meddled with my Silver Moon eggs.
gpt
You mean to say that you shed blood--the blood of your old friend--merely because he meddled with a miserable batch of butterfly's eggs?
human
I certainly did shed his blood for just that particular thing! And listen; you're in my way--you're standing on a part of the carpet which I want to tear up. Do you mind moving?
