An unexpected pleasure, gentlemen. And what precisely do you want?

I guess it's a talk to the man who shoots the bull in the ring, Hipps replied, and added:

That substitute trick has exploded and the chap who pulled it has done a guy.
gpt
Am I to understand that Mr. Frencham Altar has found your hospitality too oppressive?
human
Put it how you like, but that's a side show, came the answer.
gpt
We're here on business.
human
We are very busy, Mr. Hipps.
gpt
And since the light came into the temple, Nugent Cassis, we've been busy ourselves. Struck me one or two little matters need adjusting.
human
Your treatment of the substitute for example,
gpt
Not unlikely, but that job'll keep, and it's in hand already under Laurence.
human
Dear me, we are being very frank, are we not?
gpt
Gentlemen, it's come to our ears that a certain Mr. Barraclough is taking grave risks tonight to get home.
human
Go on! he said.
gpt
Talk straight, man.
human
One minute, he suggested.
