Did you leave the office at all?
gpt
No,
human
Not at all?
gpt
No, I said so,
human
And no one came to see you here?
gpt
No.
human
Your friend Masham did not?
gpt
No--he did not!
human
What were you doing all the time?
gpt
I was working.
human
Yes, what particular work were you engaged in?
gpt
I told you--I was balancing the petty-cash.
human
Did you finish it?
gpt
Nearly.
human
Doubleday, go to Hawkesbury's desk and bring me the petty-cash book and box.
gpt
What is this for, Mr Barnacle? I am not going to stand it! What right have you to suspect me?
human
Give Doubleday the key,
gpt
No, exclaimed Hawkesbury, in a white heat.
human
I will not, I will fetch the book myself. He doesn't know where to find it. He has no business to go to my desk.
gpt
Remain where you are, Hawkesbury,
human
What right have you to search my desk? I have private things in it. Uncle Merrett, are you going to allow this?
gpt
Mr Barnacle has a perfect right to see the petty-cash account,
human
Why don't you examine his desk? said Hawkesbury, pointing to me;
gpt
I have no objection to my desk being searched,
human
It is only fair, said Mr Barnacle.
gpt
This gentleman will search both, I dare say. Doubleday, show this gentleman both desks.
