This is not it! he cried.
gpt
He has fooled you! This is an impudent substitute manufactured out of whole cloth!
human
I was half prepared for that,
gpt
This is what de Socotra meant to carry to the President. Look! testimonials of respect to His Excellency; addresses of felicitation from public bodies of every class in Managuay; the Santiago Chamber of Commerce; the Planters' Association; The Rubber-Gatherers' Union! The last is a masterpiece; listen! 'The Rubber-Gatherers' Union of Managuay, happy in their situation on a fertile soil under a liberal government, desires to express to his Excellency, the President of the United States,' etc., etc. My God! what sublime impudence!

Then our work is still to do,
gpt
Do you know where de Socotra is at this moment?
human
At a house on East Seventeenth Street, the headquarters of his gang. He got that book there earlier in the day.
gpt
It was made there under his direction, no doubt, and the original is presumably there.
human
If they have not destroyed it.
gpt
They would scarcely do that unless they thought it was in danger of falling into our hands. Think of the handle it will give them against those who dare oppose them in Managuay. The unfortunate ones who made these affidavits will be marked men hereafter.
human
Let's go and get it,
gpt
My idea, too,
human
What do you propose?
gpt
The simplest plan possible; to get into the house by force or by trickery, and hold them up. Are you armed?
human
They got a gun from me on our last meeting. I'll see what there is in our outfit here.
