Oh yes, I saw him, Teddy said in reply to Seth's question.
gpt
He's been swingin' himself 'round Grand Street big as life for more'n an hour; says he had a great time in Philadelphy, an' ain't certain but he'll go over there to live after he gets Jip in jail. Sam must have struck some mighty soft snap, 'cause when he left this town he had only sixteen cents to his name.
human
Do you s'pose he could find any one chump enough to lend him money?
gpt
It won't pay for us to stand here tryin' to figger how he's fixed things, 'cause we must be back mighty soon, and it may take quite a spell to find Jip.
human
I reckon it will, Teddy added emphatically.
gpt
I hunted all 'round the ferry for him.
human
Why, how did you know where he was?
gpt
The fellers told me. I didn't think it was a secret.
human
It ought to have been, and Seth looked more distressed than before.
gpt
If all hands know, it won't take Sam Barney a great while to find out.
human
He was talkin' 'bout it when I left; said there was no need of goin' to the ferry till mornin', 'cause he could put his hands on him when he wanted to. Some of Jip's chums must have gone back on him, an' I wouldn't wonder if I knew who. You see, Denny Macey was tellin' 'round that if Jip didn't ante up the dime he borrowed two weeks ago, he'd make trouble for him.

Don't let's stand here any longer,
