Well? Who is it?
gpt
This--this is Miss Norcross talking,
human
Miss who?
gpt
Norcross. Miss Norcross.
human
Do I know you? Have I met you?
gpt
This is Nell Norcross.
human
Yes; I hear the name. But I don't place you.
gpt
Miss Norcross--formerly your secretary.
human
Perhaps you have the wrong number. This is Mrs. Rokeby-Jones talking.
gpt
Then I have the right number, said Mary, wrinkling her forehead in perplexity.
human
I used to be your secretary--Miss Norcross.
gpt
But I have never had a secretary by that name,
human
But the reference you gave me! Don't you remember?
gpt
I have an excellent memory, the voice said.
human
I have never employed any person named Miss Norcross, I never knew anybody by that name and I certainly never supplied a reference to any such person. You are laboring under some mistake.
gpt
But--but----
human
Good-by.
