How's it managed? he said.
gpt
Why aren't you at each other's throats?
human
So far as we're concerned, said Bob,
gpt
Oh, are you?
human
Quite.
gpt
Unless our meeting's interrupted to-morrow,
human
Of course,
gpt
That explains your position all right, said Bland.
human
But I don't quite understand the others. I should have thought--
gpt
The soldiers, said Bob,
human
But the police-- said Bland, still trying to get information.
gpt
I should have thought the police--
human
They tried to arrest us, I said.
gpt
In fact they did arrest us but they let us go again.
human
I dare say they'd like to arrest us, said Bob,
gpt
Ah, said Bland,
human
They're in bed, said Bob,
gpt
Thanks, said Bland.
human
If I can get my wire through I'll let the world know the exact position of affairs.
gpt
If you are wiring, said Bob,
human
McConkey, I said.
gpt
I know him.
human
I didn't hear his name, said Bob,
gpt
How? said Bland.
human
This story will be a scoop for me. I don't expect any one else knows it.
gpt
He handed the gasworks over to the police,
human
But did that satisfy any one? I asked.
gpt
I should have thought that both the original parties would have fallen upon the police.
human
Not at all, said Bob.
gpt
The police are so much the weakest party in the town that it's plainly to their interest to keep the gas burning. Even the man with the machine gun saw that.
