Now, my good woman, what is it? Captain Bayley said, as she entered.
gpt
I am going out in a few minutes, so come straight to the point, if you please.
human
I will come as straight as I can, sir, Mrs. Holl said breathlessly,
gpt
Well, I will try and not snap you up if you will come to the point. Now, what is the point?
human
The point, sir, Mrs. Holl said despairingly,
gpt

Evan saw it on the forks,
gpt
Yes, no doubt he did, Captain Bayley said;
human
Yes, sir, so Evan said, and when he told me it just knocked me silly like, and says I to him, says I----
gpt
Never mind what you said to him, Captain Bayley broke in,
human
Well, sir, it struck me all in a heap, because I've got in the house a thing with just such another hand, a-holding of a knife in it.
gpt
Oh! Captain Bayley said,
human
No, sir, I will take my davey as the young person as was my son Harry's mother never stole nothing in her life.
gpt
The young person who was your son Harry's mother, Captain Bayley repeated, in a somewhat puzzled tone.

human
But what young person do you mean? How can any young person have been your son Harry's mother except yourself?
gpt
He ain't really my son, you see, sir; he is the son of a young person who we took in, John and I, and who died at our house; Harry is her son.
