If you make another attempt to go up those stairs, I'll smash your head against this wall!
gpt
You're choking me, monsieur!
human
Did you hear me?
gpt
Yes; but let me go!
human
Will you swear never to come to Madame Dermont's again?
gpt
Yes, I swear; but you are murdering me! I left a pipe case at my sister's; I came to get it.
human
You didn't come on any such paltry errand as that; you came to ask that lady for more money, dastard that you are!
gpt
You insult me, monsieur!
human
Ah! you feel that you are insulted, do you? Very well! if you have the least bit of pluck, come with me, and I'll give you satisfaction. There's a gunsmith's close by; we can go there and get pistols, and take a cab. Come!
gpt
I, fight! I think I see myself! no, thanks! Let me go; I've had enough! I swear I won't come here again.
human
Go, then; but if you fail to keep that oath, I swear that I won't fail to shoot you!
