P. F.
gpt
By Jove!
human
Whut is it?
gpt
I believe I understand this.
human
Do ye?
gpt
Sure! This was from the man who fell from the train into the river--the man disguised as a woman, who attacked me on the rear platform!
human
Looks zif yeou might be right.
gpt
I am sure of it! The fellow escaped with his life! It is marvelous!
human
I sh'u'd say so!
gpt
He dispatched his accomplice, the woman, to let her know that he was living.
human
Yeou've struck it, Frank!
gpt
And she was the one who got out the accusing flyers, charging me with the crime of murder!
human
I bet!
gpt
The man is in this city now, and they are working together again.
human
I dunno'd I see whut they're goin' to make aout of it, but mebbe yeou do.
gpt
Not yet. They must be enemies I have made.
human
Who's Mrs. Hayward Grace?
gpt
Never heard the name before.
human
Waal, he didn't sign his name Hayward Grace, so it seems he ain't her husband; don't it, Frank?
gpt
He signed 'P. F.' Now, I wonder what one of my enemies can be fitted to those initials?
human
I dunno.
gpt
Nor do I. But this telegram has given me a feeling of relief, for I am glad to know the man was not drowned.
human
Drownin's too good fer him! He oughter be hung!
gpt
Although my conscience was clear in the matter, I am glad to know that I was in no way connected with his death. Hodge will not be so pleased, for he will not stop to reason that the chances of a charge of murder being brought against us are about blotted out. Ephraim, I am very sorry you were hurt, but I'm extremely glad you snatched this purse and brought me this telegram. I shall take care of it. I shall use it to trace my enemies, if possible.
human
Waal, I'm glad I done somethin', though I'd bin a 'tarnal sight gladder if I hed ketched that woman.
