“There you are, Pat. You are always on hand when you are needed. You may bring No. 78 into the office.”
“I am getting to be a fortune-teller indade. I can tell when I am wanted without being told. Here, you ‘pet-fellow’! Wake up! I am going to take you for your morning’s walk.”
“I am very willing to go.”
“I am quite sure that you will go, willing or not. When I am told to do anything, I usually do it. Here we are.”
“Bring him in, Pat.”
“Plase open the door. How do you expect me to do—break in?”
“The night lock is thrown on, officer. How did that happen? We never do so unless we all go inside of the prison. Were you in the prison last night?”
“We will discuss that later. We have sent for the prisoner and he is here. Let him in.”
“You may go, Pat. We have some investigations to make, and we prefer to be alone.”
Pat went, out, remaining within hearing and saying: “Here is a very comfortable seat. I will sit meself down and I won’t have to walk so far when I come back.”
