I should like to know one thing, Mr. Glover, she said as she went into the saloon.
gpt
What do you intend doing? What is your immediate plan? Are you going to spirit Lydia away from us? Of course, I know you're in love with her and all that sort of thing.
human
I am not in love with Mrs. Meredith,
gpt
Don't be silly, she said practically,

My first job is to get that money back, and you're going to help me,
gpt
Of course I'm going to help you, she agreed.

If Mordon has been such a scoundrel, he must suffer the consequence. I'm sure that you are too clever to have made any mistake. Poor Mordon. I wonder what made him do it, because he is such a good friend of Lydia's, and seriously, Mr. Glover, I do think Lydia is being indiscreet.
gpt
You made that remark before, he said quietly.
human
Now perhaps you'll explain what you mean.

They are always about together. I saw them strolling on the lawn last night till quite a late hour, and I was so scared lest Mrs. Cole-Mortimer noticed it too----

Which means that Mrs. Cole-Mortimer did not notice it. You're clever, Jean! Even as you invent you make preparations to refute any evidence that the other side can produce. I don't believe a word you say.

This was addressed to you, miss, she said.

It was on the hall table--didn't you see it?
gpt
No,

Good God!
gpt
What is it?
human
Read it,
gpt
It is in his writing, too, he muttered.
human
It's impossible, incredible! I tell you I've had Mrs. Meredith under my eyes all the time she has been here. Is there a letter from her? he asked suddenly.
gpt
But no, it is impossible, impossible!
human
I haven't been into her room. Will you come up with me?
