I can't see him.
gpt
Why didn't you see the inspector? exclaimed Anita.
human
This is the best time for me to give myself up.
gpt
No, no! I have a plan----
human
The inspector is very sorry, my lord, but he has to see you at once, 'e says.
gpt
I can't,
human
It is no use putting it off, Anita said firmly.
gpt
I insist on your seeing him. If you don't, I shall go down and speak to him myself.
human
You can bring him up in ten minutes--not before. You understand?
gpt
Yes, my lord.
human
Anita, implored Cyril, as soon as they were again alone,
gpt
I beg you not to do this thing. If a plan that I have in mind succeeds, you will be able to leave the country and begin life again under another name.
human
What is this plan?
gpt
I will not allow you to attempt it. If your fraud were discovered--and it would surely be discovered--your life would be ruined.
human
No--
gpt
I tell you I will not hear of it. No, I am determined to end this horrible suspense. Call the inspector.
human
I entreat you at all events to wait a little while longer.
gpt
No, no!
human
My wife is here. If she should hear, if she should know--
gpt
Why didn't you tell me that she was here? exclaimed Anita with flashing eyes.
human
Of course, I haven't the slightest intention of involving her in my affairs. I will go at once.
gpt
But you can't leave the house without Griggs seeing you, and he would certainly guess who you are. Stay in the next room till he is gone, that is all I ask of you. Here, quick, I hear footsteps on the stairs.
human
Good-morning, my lord. Rather early to disturb you, I am afraid.
