They've gone again.
gpt
What--the girl?
human
Gone, groaned Wilson.
gpt
But within the hour. I want you to help me find them.
human
Like huntin' fer a loose dory in th' dark, ain't it?
gpt
Yes, but you'd hunt even for your dory, wouldn't you?
human
Right, m' boy, an' I ain't suggestin' thet yer change yer course, only--these seas are uncharted fer me. But how'd she git outern yer hands once yer had her?
gpt
Oh, I was a fool, Stubbs. I thought she would sleep until night, and so came over here to let you know where I was. That would have been all right if I hadn't stayed, but the Queen came and--she told you about Danbury?
human
Yes, nodded Stubbs,
gpt
No more than you have.
human
He isn't a stranger here, is he? Prob'ly has friends, eh?
gpt
That's so. I know he has. I saw some of his letters.
human
Know who they are?
gpt
I suppose we might find that out from the General--he must know him, for the man was a surgeon or something in the armies here.
