Bring a drink of water for each of them, won't you? he said querulously to the three substitutes. He waited till they were out of earshot.
gpt
Look here, you fellows! he began grimly, spreading his legs and leaning toward them in his earnestness.
human
You're ready to drop, every last one of you, because of that long swim this afternoon. Does Sheffield know about it?
gpt
Didn't mention it to him, said Kiproy carelessly.
human
Why?
gpt
Somebody should! snapped Bunny.
human
Not one of you is fit to play another minute, and he ought to know the reason.
gpt
Are you going to snitch?
human
No, I'm not. I'm no tattletale. But I'm going to ask you not to start this next half.
gpt
So the substitutes can go in, eh?
human
Maybe they can't hold that Elkana five, flashed Bunny,
gpt
No, I won't!
human
You, Collins? Turner? Barrett?
gpt
We'll be in shape by the time play starts again.
human
After swimming in the tank for nearly an hour! Bunny cried scornfully.
gpt
You know better than that, all of you. Once more--
human
Time's up! Come on!
gpt
I can't do a single thing, he told himself bitterly.
human
I won't snitch, and I can't force them to quit playing. We're beaten, that's all.
