My dear young friend, what can I do for you?
gpt
About that money, Mr. Melmotte?
human
What money, my dear fellow? You see that a good many money matters pass through my hands.
gpt
The thousand pounds I gave you for shares. If you don't mind, and as the shares seem to be a bother, I'll take the money back.
human
It was only the other day you had ú200,
gpt
Exactly;--and you might as well let me have the ú800.
human
I've ordered the shares;--gave the order to my broker the other day.
gpt
Then I'd better take the shares, said Sir Felix, feeling that it might very probably be that day fortnight before he could start for New York.
human
Could I get them, Mr. Melmotte?
gpt
My dear fellow, I really think you hardly calculate the value of my time when you come to me about such an affair as this.
human
I'd like to have the money or the shares,
