Well, he cried, stepping directly in front of the boys,
gpt
If you are one, nobody knows it but yourself,
human
Didn't I get Jip Collins arrested?
gpt
Yes, an' anybody might er done the same thing, without startin' in by goin' to Philadelphy. It seems you wasn't much of a detective when you figgered that he was over there.
human
If you fellers hadn't been so smart with your railroad ticket I'd never gone, 'cause it didn't take me very long to see how I'd made a mistake in figgerin', after I put my mind right down to it.
gpt
I notice you hung 'round here two days waitin' for us to raise the money. Couldn't you find the mistake before then?
human
I didn't try; but when I started in without bein' mixed up with a crowd of duffers like you, I soon put the thing through.
gpt
Yes, it was big detective work to walk over to Thirty-fourth Street Ferry an' find him.
human
I snaked him right out er a house where he was hidin'.
gpt
Then Denny Macey was the one who gave Jip away, an' I'll have a settlement with that chump some day!
human
You've got Jip in jail, an' think it's goin' to be a big thing to brag about; but I don't believe you'll make any great shakes out of it. Come on, Dan, we don't want to hang 'round here any longer.
gpt
You're feelin' mighty fine, Seth Bartlett, jest 'cause you're given the chance to loaf 'round the Fire Department headquarters an' sweep the floors! Sam cried angrily.
human
I s'pose you think you're pretty nigh the only feller in this town?
gpt
Come ahead, Dan,
human
I don't want any talk with you, Sam Barney, an' what's more I won't have any.
gpt
Won't, eh? Suppose I slap your face, how'll it be then?
