How far do we have to go?
gpt
Eh?
human
How far do we go?
gpt
How far?
human
Yes,
gpt
Excuse me, said the man;
human
I was in a brown study and did not catch on to your remark. If you will please repeat it, I will then try to answer.
gpt
Aren't you the gentleman who sent the note?
human
Certainly.
gpt
Then you must know how far it is to the place where Silas Keene is lying wounded and dying.
human
Certainly I do. Mr. Keene is about four miles from your place, at a small cabin in the woods--
gpt
Indeed! How did he come to be in such a place?
human
He was on somebody's trail.
gpt
You are acquainted with Mr. Keene?
human
Yes.
gpt
Your name is Henry Jones?
human
It is.
gpt
Why did you not come for me in person without writing the letter?
human
That might have been the proper way, but I am not like other people, Mr. Bordine. I am considered a peculiar man. It was a freak of mine, I suppose, that I did not do as you say. Fact is, I did not think it possible for me to leave Keene at the time I wrote the letter.
gpt
You afterward found him better?
human
Slightly, yes.
gpt
Is he badly hurt?
human
He will die.
gpt
In what manner was he injured?
human
He was flung from a horse.
gpt
In the city?
human
No, in the woods while he was in pursuit of a burglar.
gpt
Indeed!
