You're to come back in her, to Ware, this evening, said he, as they shook hands.
gpt
I'm so glad I've found you. I've to meet a friend at the Verney Arms, but our talk won't take very long; and how have you been amusing yourself all day? Rather slow, isn't it?
human
Well, and what's the _name_?
gpt
I can't tell; they don't know at the hotel; the Etherages don't know. I asked Castle Edwards, and _he_ doesn't know either,
human
Yes, but the fellow, the servant, who turned you out at Malory----
gpt
He did not turn me out. I was _going_,
human
Well, who _saw_ you out? You made him a present; he'd have told you, of course. _Did_ he?
gpt
I didn't ask him.
human
Come, that's being very delicate indeed! All I can say is, if I were as spoony as you are, on that girl, I'd have learned all about her long ago. It's nothing to me; but if you find out her name, I know two or three fellows in town who know everything about everybody, and I'll make out the whole story--that is, if she's anybody.
gpt
By Jove! that's very odd. There he _is_, just gone into the Golden Lion, that groom, that servant, that Malory man,
human
Well, go; give him a pound, it's well worth it, laughed Cleve.
gpt
I'm serious, if you want to learn it; no fellow like that can resist a pound; and if _you_ tell me the name, I'll make you out all the rest, I really will, when we get to town. There, don't let him get off, and you'll find me at the Verney Arms.
