Gee, Mr. Matthews, we found Tommy. We would have brought him home but Mr. Hale thought--he thought we'd better come back for help.
gpt
Oh, Jack, Jack, Professor, panted Norah.
human
Let us go, let us--
gpt
The mounted police--
human
No! Matthews shook his head emphatically.
gpt
We won't need the mounted police or any help. There's only one man.
human
I shall go with you,
gpt
No, Professor. We must make speed. We'll take both sea sleds, but then there's a long tramp.
human
But you do not understand, John. This man's name is Brown. It is Amos Brown, the man we are looking for. I traced him up to Canada. It was only a question of a day or two before I should have found him. I must be there, John.
gpt
Please, Professor, don't insist. This job is not for you. Tell us what to do and Jimmy and I can do what needs be done. The first thing is to get Tommy, then there will be time--
human
But there may not be time, John. Men's lives may depend on--oh, well have it your way. Hale, if you and John are insistent on acting like impulsive fools and not taking along qualified officers, see to it that you get whatever papers you can at this man's house. And for God's sake, boys, be careful. This is a dangerous man. He will be on his own ground.
