Good evening, Mr. Diaz,
gpt
Hey, Phil, is that you?
human
Yes, answered Phil, rising and moving aft.
gpt
How long have you been here?
human
About an hour.
gpt
Do you know who is sitting over there?
human
Over where?
gpt
There by the rail?
human
Sure, I know. That's our old friend Diaz,
gpt
How long has he been there?
human
He came in when I did.
gpt
An hour ago?
human
Yes.
gpt
I do not understand it at all.
human
Don't understand what?
gpt
Something that occurred this evening.
human
What is it all about, Phil?
gpt
I should prefer not to talk about it here, Teddy. I will tell you after we get to bed and there is no one about to overhear us. There is a rascally plot on foot.
human
A plot?
gpt
Yes. I know very little about it, but I know enough to warn me that you and I will have to keep our eyes open or else we shall find ourselves in serious difficulties before we realize it.
human
Is that so? Tell me who the plotters are, and I'll turn January loose on them, explained Teddy.
gpt
Do you think they are the fellows who stole my egg?
human
I don't know. Where is Mr. Sparling?
gpt
I haven't seen him since I ran into him and bowled him over off on the lot.
human
As I have said many times before, you are hopeless, Teddy. I must go now. If you see Mr. Sparling, please let me know, but say nothing to anyone about what I have just told you.
gpt
I won't.
