I never heard the name. It is another name of your invention, I think.
gpt
How strange it is that I so readily invent names of real personages. Why, I really begin to suspect that your name is truly Argetti.
human
Why did you ask about Alphonse Donetti?
gpt
Then you do know him?
human
No, but as you have mentioned that name it may aid me in explaining some grave mistake that has been made in my arrest.
gpt
Oh, there is no such person as Donetti. I was fooling you--hee, hee, hee--but don't you know why the irons were put on you?
human
I do not.
gpt
You have a short memory.
human
My memory don't aid me in that direction.
gpt
It don't?
human
No.
gpt
Then you must forget that without provocation you set to murder me, and you have the cheek to ask why you are arrested, and intimate there has been a mistake. No, no, there has been no mistake. You were arrested for an assault upon me--an attempt to murder me.
human
But you are an intruder in my house--you may be a robber.
gpt
I beg your pardon, I was introduced into your house, and you rather inveigled me here. I didn't know before, but now I begin to suspect that you are a very bad man. It is possible that you have committed a very serious crime in Italy, or you wouldn't be so infernally sensitive--hee, hee, hee!
