Hi, sir! that--that lubber. How did he know?
gpt
That I have to find out. He offers to sell the information for a hundred pounds.
human
What I want to know, sir, is, where is the swab?
gpt
In London. I'm going up to see him to-morrow.
human
This afternoon, put in Sophy sharply.
gpt
You are going this afternoon, Alan.
human
Certainly, my dear, Alan said promptly;
gpt
I'll go this afternoon--if the police don't want me.
human
The police!
gpt
Yes. Alan darted a keen glance at him.
human
Mr. Phelps has sent for the police to investigate this murder of Dr. Warrender.
gpt
Well, I hope they'll find him, sir, said Joe, recovering his stolidity,
human
So I think, Joe, and I am going to London to find out from Cicero Gramp.
gpt
You'll find he'll tell you that the Quiet Gentleman killed Dr. Warrender,
human
How do you know that, miss?
gpt
I only think so. The Quiet Gentleman has disappeared. Probably he killed the doctor, and then took my father's body.
human
It might be so, miss. If I find him----
gpt
Then you can't help us in any way, Joe?
human
No, sir, I can't. I don't know who carried off the Cap'n, and I don't know who stabbed the doctor. If I did, I'd kill him. When you find him, sir, let me know.
