What has she done? repeated John Linden.
gpt
She has introduced that young ruffian into the house to rob me. Look at that secretary! He has forced it open, and stolen a large sum of money.
human
It is not true, sir, said Dodger, calmly,
gpt
Then why did you open the secretary?
human
I did mean to take money, but she stopped me.
gpt
Oh, she stopped you? repeated Linden, with withering sarcasm.
human
Then, perhaps, you will tell me where the money is gone?
gpt
He hasn't discovered about the will, thought Curtis, congratulating himself;
human
You can search me if you want to, continued Dodger, proudly.
gpt
You won't find no money on me.
human
Do you think I am a fool, you young burglar?
gpt
Uncle, let me speak to the boy, said Curtis, soothingly.
human
I think he will tell me.
gpt
As you like, Curtis; but I am convinced that he is a thief.
human
Now, my boy, he said, smoothly,
gpt
But, sir, I didn't take nothing--it's just as I told the old duffer. The girl waked up just as I'd got the secretary open, and I didn't have a chance.
human
But the money is gone,
gpt
I don't know nothing about that.
human
Come, you'd better examine your pockets. In the hurry of the moment you may have taken it without knowing it.
gpt
No, I couldn't.
human
Didn't you take a paper of any kind? asked Curtis, eagerly.
gpt
Sometimes papers are of more value than money.
human
No, I didn't take no paper, though Tim told me to.
