Caesar?
gpt
He's my dog. Ph-h-eet! Ph-h-eet! Ah, here he is!
human
Good old fellow! murmured M. Paul, holding the dog's eager head with his two hands.
gpt
I have work for you, sir, to-night. Ah, he knows! See his eyes! Look at that tail! We'll show 'em, eh, Caesar?
human
What are you going to do with him?
gpt
Make a little experiment. Do you mind waiting a couple of minutes? It _may_ give us a line on this visitor to Number Seven.
human
I'll wait,
gpt
Come over here, continued the other.
human
I'll show you a pistol connected with this case. And I'll show it to the dog.
gpt
For the scent? You don't think a dog can follow the scent from a pistol, do you?
human
I don't know. _This_ dog has done wonderful things. He tracked a murderer once three miles across rough country near Liége and found him hidden in a barn. But he had better conditions there. We'll see.
