Why did you attack me last night?
gpt
We'll go into that in a moment, if you don't mind, was the answer.
human
What was your motive in coming here?
gpt
To see Sonia, of course, he replied.
human
I didn't know you were at home. Do you usually try to _murder_ people who come to see her? he demanded with weak truculence.
gpt
I know, of course, that you neglect her and ill-treat her yourself.
human
When did you last see my wife?
gpt
I can't tell you.
human
You've got to tell me, Beresford.
gpt
I'm afraid I can't. I spent six weeks in prison and I've had another fortnight getting convalescent. It was some time before that.
human
You have got to tell me the day, the hour and the place.
gpt
Come along!
human
I can't and I won't. It was some time shortly before I was arrested. If you want to find out any more, you can ask her.

human
I told you that Mrs. O'Rane was away, I reminded him. Then I took O'Rane by the arm.
gpt
I want to have a word with you.
