Mr. Glover,
gpt
If you'll be kind enough to release my hands, said Jack savagely,
human
I will convince you.
gpt
You've nearly blinded me,
human
If I'd known it was you----
gpt
Don't make me laugh! he snapped.
human
Of course you knew who it was!
gpt
Was that very painful?
human
How was I to know that it was you? she demanded, virtuously indignant,
gpt
I thought you were a wicked old man----
human
You thought nothing of the sort, Miss Briggerland, said Jack.
gpt
You knew who I was, and you guessed why I had taken on this disguise. I was not many yards from you when it suddenly dawned upon you that I could not sleep at Lydia Meredith's flat unless I went there in the guise of an old man.
human
Why should you want to sleep at her flat at all? she asked innocently.
gpt
It doesn't seem to me to be a very proper ambition.
human
That is an unnecessary question, and I'm wasting my time when I answer you, said Jack sternly.
gpt
I went there to save her life, to protect her against your murderous plots!
human
My murderous plots? she repeated aghast.
gpt
You surely don't know what you're saying.
human
I know this, and his face was not pleasant to see.
gpt
I have sufficient evidence to secure the arrest of your father, and possibly yourself. For months I have been working on that first providential accident of yours--the rich Australian who died with such remarkable suddenness. I may not get you in the Meredith case, and I may not be able to jail you for your attacks on Mrs. Meredith, but I have enough evidence to hang your father for the earlier crime.
