Do you men know of a squad of Injianny recruits commanded by Serg't Klegg?
gpt
Yes, here they are, said Si, springing up.
human
I'm Serg't Klegg.

That's him, piped out Pete Skidmore's voice from the engine, with a very noticeable blubber of joy.
human
He's the same durned old-fool that I kept tellin' all the time he'd lose me if he wasn't careful, and he went and done it all the same.
gpt
Well, here's your boy, continued the first voice.

Be mighty glad you've got him back and see that you take care o' him after this. My fireman run down on the cow-ketcher and snatched him up just in the nick o' time. A second more and he'd bin mince-meat. Men what can't take better care o' boys oughtn't to be allowed to have charge of 'em. But the Government gits all sorts o' damn fools for $13 a month.
