Can you spare me a moment? he asked.
gpt
I have a message from your sister.
human
Are you in a hurry, she asked carelessly.
gpt
A lot of these people will be going presently.
human
My message is urgent, he said firmly.
gpt
If you cannot listen to me now it must remain undelivered.
human
So you come from Anna, do you? she remarked.
gpt
Well, what is it?
human
Montague Hill is recovering consciousness, he said.
gpt
He will probably make a statement to-night.
human
That sounds very interesting, she answered coolly.
gpt
Perhaps I should better be able to understand its significance if you would explain to me who Mr. Montague Hill is.
human
Your husband,
gpt
You and Anna, she said,
human
Don't be foolish, he said sharply.
gpt
You were seen to leave the flat, and your handkerchief was found there. Very likely by this time the whole truth is known.
human
What a beautiful mare's nest! she exclaimed.
gpt
I can see you and Anna groaning and nodding your grave heads together. Bah! She does not know me very well, and you--not at all. Do have some tea, won't you? If you must, go then.
