Let that pass for the present. I have another question to ask. Where is the document you took from my uncle's desk on the night of the burglary?
gpt
I took no paper,
human
Do you deny that you opened the desk?
gpt
No.
human
When I came to examine the contents in the presence of my uncle, it was found that a document--his will--had disappeared, and with it a considerable sum of money.
gpt
I don't know anything about it, sir. I took nothing.
human
You can hardly make me believe that. Why did you open the desk if you did not propose to take anything?
gpt
I did intend to take something. I was under orders to do so, for I wouldn't have done it of my own free will; but the moment I got the desk open I heard a cry, and looking around, I saw Miss Florence looking at me.
human
And then?
gpt
I was startled, and ran to her side.
human
And then you went back and completed the robbery?
gpt
No, I didn't. She talked to me so that I felt ashamed of it. I never stole before, and I wouldn't have tried to do it then, if--if some one hadn't told me to.
human
I know whom you mean--Tim Bolton.
gpt
Yes, Tim Bolton, since you know.
human
What did he tell you to take?
gpt
The will and the money.
human
Eactly. Now we are coming to it. You took them, and gave them to him?
gpt
No, I didn't. I haven't seen him since that night.
