Captain Vallingham, I am sorry to see you throw away your property in this fashion,
gpt
You're altogether too sharp!
human
In order to prevent you from throwing away anything more of value, I'll have you searched. Clefton, go through the man from hat to boots, and don't let anything escape you.
gpt
Are you going to rob me?
human
Yes,--of information, if any more is to be had.
gpt
I haven't anything beside that note-book and the two letters. The letters are from my mother,--private correspondence.
human
You give me your word of honor as a gentleman to that?
gpt
I do.
human
Then there you are, Captain. I have no desire to pry into your personal affairs. I am working solely in the interests of the United States of America.
gpt
Much obliged; I am glad to learn a Yankee can still be a gentleman in some respects.
human
In all respects, Captain Vallingham. Clefton, anything else of value to our general?
gpt
Haven't pulled off his boots yet, Major.
human
Do you think I carry the secrets of the Confederate army in my foot-wear?
gpt
I am not thinking; I am trying to find out,
human
I'm not used to going barefooted.
gpt
We won't keep you barefooted. Now, Clefton--Ah, what's that?
