Listen, old man, said Gramont, earnestly.
gpt
Will you play out the game hard to the end? I'll have to leave you here for two days. At the end of that time you'll be free.
human
Whatever you say, cap'n, he rejoined.
gpt
It sure looks bad----
human
Don't you think it, said Gramont, cheerfully.
gpt
A lot of things have happened since I saw you last! I've got the real murderer right where I want him--but I can't have him arrested yet.
human
It's a gang, said Hammond.
gpt
You watch out, cap'n, I heard 'em say somethin' about Memphis Izzy--remember the guy I told you about one day? Well, this is no piker's game! We're up against somethin' solid----
human
I know it, and Gramont nodded. He turned to the deputies.
gpt
Gentlemen, you have my address if you wish to communicate with me. I shall be back here day after to-morrow--at least, before midnight of that day. I warn you, that if anything happens to this man in the meantime, you shall be held personally responsible. He is innocent.
human
Looks like we'd better hold you, too, said one of the men.
gpt
You seem to know a lot!
human
I know enough to tell you where to head in if you try any funny work here, he said, evenly.
gpt
Gentlemen, thank you for permitting the interview! I'll see you later.
