Chapter VII
Well say, I didn't see how I'd fit into a hunt of that kind; and as for knowin' what to do, I hadn't a thought in my head just then; but seein' as how I'd butted in, it didn't seem no more'n right that I should stay with the game. So I tags along, and we climbs into the old man's electric cab. "We'll go to Dr. Piecrust's first, and see if he's there," says he, "that being our church." Well, he wa'n't. And they hadn't seen him at another minister's that the old man said Rossy knew.
