Now, Chunky, asked Butler,
gpt
Yes. It's a high one, isn't it?
human
Yes. I am going up there.
gpt
What for?
human
To spend the day signaling. The question is, do you want to stay here and watch the camp, or do you--
gpt
What! Stay here alone? I guess not. No, sir!
human
I was in hopes you would be willing to do that. You don't want to spend the rest of your life up here, do you?
gpt
I should think not.
human
Then you must try to do your share. I am not saying that you have not; you have done the best you knew how.
gpt
Yes, I got myself arrested, nodded the fat boy.
human
What do you want me to do?
gpt
I want you, if you will take this matter seriously, to stay here in camp and look after it.
human
Take it seriously? Pshaw! You think I think this is a kind of picnic. I guess not. It hasn't been like any other picnic I ever attended. All right; I'll stay here. But why are you making up your mind to go up to the top of that mountain now?
gpt
I'll tell you. We have been away from our party for some time. They will begin to get worried about our long absence about this time. That means that Mr. Vaughn will get busy. Understand?
human
That is why.
gpt
Go ahead. I will defend this camp with my very life. I'll shoot on sight the first time I see anything moving.
human
I guess I had better take you along,
