Well, said I, as I entered the cell with the false detective,
gpt
What do you intend doing with me?
human
Whatever I think you may deserve having done with you,
gpt
Howard, I--I--didn't think any one was in that saloon, or may be I wouldn't a-given that signal,
human
You know you lie!
gpt
Now, then, I said, presently,
human
Yes,
gpt
Who did you have in the Black Hole?
human
Black Hole! What Black Hole?
gpt
You can't come that. I know pretty much all about the old sugar-house and Cap, and the kind of a business you carry on there.
human
How did you find out?
gpt
Never mind that. The Black Hole is in the cellar under the store-house?
human
Yes,
gpt
You had a prisoner in it?
human
Yes.
gpt
Who was he?
human
I don't know.
gpt
Describe him.
human
A young fellow.
gpt
A young fellow, inside of twenty, and of a slim build.
human
When did you last see him?
gpt
Just about dark.
human
He was safe then?
gpt
He was.
human
Could he have escaped from the Black Hole, think you?
gpt
It is possible, he said.
human
They thought it a mighty strong place, but I didn't. A fellow with any grit could have dug his way out.
