I wonder if he believes now that I can throw a curve,
gpt
He ought to ask some of the Red Sox who whiffed away at them in the World Series, said Jim with a grin.
human
They didn't have any doubt about it.
gpt
Professor Crabbe had very serious doubts, explained Joe.
human
In fact, he said it was impossible. Against all the laws of motion and all that sort of thing. I had to rig up a couple of bamboo rods in a line, and get Dick Talbot, a friend of mine in the moving-picture business, to take a picture of the ball as it curved around the rods, before I could prove my point.
gpt
Did it convince him?
human
It stumped him, anyway, replied Joe.
gpt
But sometimes I have a sneaking notion that he thinks yet that Dick and I played some kind of a bunco game on him by doctoring the film.
human
Well, I hope that nobody else stops us, remarked Clara.
gpt
It seems to me that almost everybody in Riverside is on the street this afternoon.
human
It wouldn't be such an awful mob at that, replied Jim.
gpt
But it's a safe bet that one man at least won't stop Joe to shake hands with him.
human
Who is that?
gpt
The fellow who yelled 'Fire' in the hall last night,
human
I hope I didn't hurt him,
gpt
Perish the thought, replied Jim.
human
You just caressed him. He was a big fellow, and he probably sat down just to take a load off his feet.
gpt
I'm glad he wasn't a Riverside man, anyway, remarked Joe, loyal to his home town.
human
I never saw him before. Probably he came from some place near by.
gpt
Oh, then, of course he won't mind it,
human
Of all the nonsense----
