Do you want a ride in to the city, both of you?
gpt
That would be fine! How far are you going?
human
The Burrage. I have a luncheon engagement. That's Forty-fourth.
gpt
Can you drop us off at the university?
human
Surely! Climb in. It's a tight fit, three in the seat, but fun. And --facing me--
gpt
I want Jamie between us, next to me!
human
What did Marilyn Loring want? You seemed in deep confab!
gpt
She volunteered to initiate us to McCann's, across the street.
human
Oh! She skidded about a corner skillfully.
gpt
And--
human
Well, we bumped into an additional piece of evidence and I thought Jameson and I ought to hurry in to my laboratory instead.
gpt
I bet --Enid giggled, readjusting her hat in the breeze--
human
I bet she wanted to know what you'd found, right away. Didn't she?
gpt
Yes! Kennedy's face was noncommittal,
human
Why do you say that?
gpt
Because she came into my room, just as we were getting ready for work this morning. Perhaps I'm wrong, but from the way she kept asking me questions about everyone from Manton down I got the idea she was quizzing me, to see how much I knew. Of course this is only my first day, but it seems to me that Marilyn is talking a great deal, without saying very much. I've come to the conclusion she knows a good deal more than she is telling anyone, and that she'd like to find out just how much everyone else knows.
human
Well --Enid speeded up a bit--
gpt
Will they do justice to your work, Kennedy inquired,
human
That's where I'm in luck, real bang-up luck. Werner has directed me before and knows just exactly how to handle me.
gpt
What about the story? That was built for Stella, wasn't it?
human
Yes, but they're changing it here and there to fit me. Larry knows my work, too! That's luck again for little Enid.
gpt
How long have you known Millard?
