That is what a man calls his honour, she thought to herself with amused annoyance.
gpt
It is unlike Jack, though.
human
Look here, Jack, she said in a moment.
gpt
Leave the thing entirely to me. It was stupid of me to mention it. You saw nothing: I saw nothing. You know nothing about it. There was no baccarat, no cheating, no nothing. Come.
human
What are you going to do?
gpt
Oh, Jack, I am not a fool, said Kit.
human
I only want you, officially, so to speak, to know nothing about this, just in case of accidents; but there will be no accidents if you let me manage it. If you want to know what I shall do, it is this: I shall go to Alice to-morrow--to-day, rather--and tell her what I saw. I am sure she saw it herself, or I should say nothing to her. I shall also add how lucky it was that only she and I noticed it. Then the whole thing shall be hushed up, though I dare say we shall watch Alington play once more to be certain about it, and if we see him cheat again, make him promise to play no more. Trust us for not letting it come out. I am in your galley about the mines, you see.
gpt
She is to understand that I saw nothing?
human
Of course, of course, said Kit.
gpt
That is the whole point of it. What is your scruple? I am really unable to understand. I know it is not nice to deal with a person who cheats at cards. You have always to be on the watch. You'll have to keep your eyes open in this business of the mines, but that is your own affair. Clearly it is much better that Alice should imagine you know nothing about the cheating. She might think you ought to break with the man; people are so queer and unexpected.

What about Tom?
gpt
Jack, will you or will you not leave the whole matter in my hands--the whole matter, you understand--without interference?
human
Yes, he said at last;
gpt
Yes
