Good morning, Mr. Selfridge, he said, scarcely looking up;
gpt
I suppose you have come to see der insurance paid over. Der sixty days are up.
human
Yes, yes, Mr. Meyer, said the old gentleman, wearily;
gpt
It is very sad, Mr. Selfridge; you have my deepest sympathy. I pelieve you are der largest holder of _Titan_ stock--about one hundred thousand, is it not?
human
About that.
gpt
I am der heaviest insurer; so Mr. Selfridge, this battle will be largely petween you and myself.
human
Battle--is there to be any difficulty?
gpt
Berhaps--I do not know. Der underwriters and outside companies have blaced matters in my hands and will not bay until I take der initiative. We must hear from one John Rowland, who, with a little child, was rescued from der berg and taken to Christiansand. He has been too sick to leave der ship which found him and is coming up der Thames in her this morning. I have a carriage at der dock and expect him at my office py noon. Dere is where we will dransact this little pizness--not here.
human
A child--saved, queried the old gentleman;
gpt
And I am a ruined man if it is, said Mr. Meyer, rising.
human
Will you come around to der office, Mr. Selfridge? I expect der attorney and Captain Bryce are dere now.
