The friends Mr. Bundercombe is now making and may make in later life, the lawyer remarked,
gpt
he concluded,
human
I am afraid I must advise you, very much against my own inclinations, to settle this matter.
gpt
It isn't the money! he declared gloomily.
human
It's being bested by this little gang of thieves that irritates me!
gpt
I am sure, I told him,
human
Well, we've got two days left, he said.
gpt
If nothing happens before then I'll pay up.
human
We've got a conference on, Paul, he announced dejectedly.
gpt
Will you come round here for me at a quarter to eleven?
human
Please tell me, dear, she begged, as she drew me into the morning room,

human
It's just a little trouble arising from one of his adventures. We shall get out of it all right.
gpt
Poor daddy! she exclaimed.

I am sure he has had no sleep for two nights. I heard him walking up and down his room.
gpt

Daddy does so hate to get the worst of anything, she sighed;
human
I am afraid so, too, I agreed.
gpt
Never mind; we have done the best we can, and we are going to settle it up once and for all to-day. Perhaps he'll tell you about it afterward.

gpt
Hurry along and come back as soon as you've got this business over.

human
I don't see why we can't leave the lawyers to do this final settlement.
gpt
You leave too much to lawyers in this country, he remarked.
human
We generally like to see the thing through ourselves over at home, even if we take a lawyer along. This is an unpleasant business, if you like; but there's no good in shirking it.
