That's what I think, answered the Circus Boy.
gpt
I do not like to accuse anyone unjustly, but I have these suspicions of the Spanish clown.
human
Have you mentioned your suspicion to Mr. Sparling, Phil?
gpt
No.
human
Do you intend to do so?
gpt
Not unless I find some facts to support my suspicion.
human
You will get to the bottom of the mystery, I am sure,
gpt
I am not so sure. Why do you think so?
human
Because you are one of the cleverest boys I ever knew, that's why. I should hate to have you on my track if I were guilty of any particular crime that you were trying to run down. I should expect to land in jail, and I think I should come straight to you and give myself up,
gpt
I wish I were all that you think I am, Dimples.
human
You are. You saved my life again yesterday. I'm going to pay you back, however. Someday, when you fall overboard, Little Dimples is going to jump right in and rescue you--haul you out by the hair of your head--
gpt
You can't, it is cut too short.
human
Then I will pull you out by an ear.
gpt
I shall make it my business to fall in, then, at the first opportunity, laughed Phil.
human
It would be worthwhile.
gpt
You can turn a compliment as well as you can do a turn in the ring, can't you Phil Forrest?
