You are very kind, sir, responded the male member of the party of which the apparent invalid was one.
gpt
The lady is ill, and we are anxious to get her to her home as soon as possible. Would you be kind enough to call a carriage for us? I would not ask this of a stranger had you not so kindly proffered your assistance.
human
I will do so with pleasure, replied the gentleman, evidently a little surprised at the manner in which his offer was received.
gpt
But may I ask what is the matter with the lady?
human
Brain disease?
gpt
Yes. Brought on by overwork at school. Poor girl! But we have hope that in a few weeks she will be herself again.
human
It is very sad.
gpt
Very; and now, sir, if you will kindly call the carriage for me, I shall be greatly indebted to you.
human
Certainly, sir.
gpt
What's your game, Jack? Why did you send that old fellow for a carriage?
human
It was the easiest way to get rid of him, was the reply.
gpt
Didn't you see that he was very suspicious?
human
Of course.
gpt
The way in which I accepted his offer took him off his guard, and, perhaps, saved us some trouble.
human
Hush! here he comes.
gpt
I see him. Don't say a word. Leave all to me.
human
I have found a very good coach for you, announced the old gentleman, hurrying toward them.
gpt
Come this way, please.
