Hello, there! he exclaimed.
gpt
Lost my road. Where's Hammond?
human
In yonder. Say, are you going back to the city to-night?
gpt
Yes. Gramont regarded him.
human
Why?
gpt
Take me back, will you? I've missed the last up train, and if you're goin' back anyhow I won't have to hire a car. I can drive for you, and we'll make it in a couple of hours, before midnight sure.
human
Hop in, said Gramont, nodding toward the car.
gpt
I'll be back as soon as I've had a word with Hammond. No danger of his getting lynched, I hope?
human
Not a chance, said the other, conclusively.
gpt
Six deputies up there now, and quite a bunch of ex-soldiers comin' to stand guard. You goin' to fight the case?
human
No, said Gramont.
gpt
Can't fight a sure thing, can you? I'm sorry for him, though.
