Look here, Jones, says he, pretending to be an officer;
gpt
I have a warrant for your arrest for committing a battery upon Thomas Holahan. You must come along with me to the station-house.
human
What! For me! cries Jones in an agony of dismay.
gpt
Sure, I did nothing to the man. You're not going to lock me up for that!
human
It's my unpleasant duty, answers McDuff.
gpt
An officer has no choice in the matter. You must step along.
human
Come, come! replies Jones, pulling his money from his pocket.
gpt
Here's a hundred and fifty dollars. Say you couldn't find me!
human
I would be taking a great risk, responds the supposed officer.
gpt
Have you no more than that?
human
I have my gold watch and chain, returned Jones.
gpt
You can have them and welcome--only let me go!
