I think you have wasted your time coming up, he said.
gpt
Jarks, no doubt, told your servant that the doctor's body had already been discovered. Why, then, come up to pay blackmail?
human
I want to find out who killed Julian,
gpt
Then you are on your way to see this man?
human
Yes. She shuddered.
gpt
But this terrible place. I am afraid.
human
Then why come here? I am going to see Mr. Gramp on Miss Marlow's behalf. If you like, I will represent you also.
gpt
No, thank you; I must see him myself.
human
Very well. I suppose you are not staying in town?
gpt
Yes, at the Norfolk Hotel. I shall remain until to-morrow, so as to sell my jewels and bribe this man.
human
There will be no need to sell your jewels, said Alan soothingly.
gpt
I will be responsible for the blackmail. Have you the jewels with you?
human
No, I dared not bring them. He might have robbed me. They are in my bedroom at the hotel.
gpt
Then go back at once and look after them. I will bring this man there in, let us say, an hour.
human
Thank you, Mr. Thorold, she said.
gpt
I accept your offer. I am really afraid to go down that slum.
