I _was_ going to send it you, von Erstein. You can see I've begun the letter there.
gpt
What the devil does that mean?
human
I'm willing to come to terms. We both know where I found it.
gpt
How do I know where you put it?
human
Don't lie, man. You know very well that it was on your finger when you left here last night, and --I paused for the sake of emphasis--
gpt
Rubbish!
human
I've made sure about that. I've just come from your flat, remember,
gpt
Have you been spreading that lie about me?
human
Do you take me for an idiot to let any one want to ask where I found it?
gpt
All right, we'll bury the hatchet if you like,
human
You can go then; and I moved to let him leave. I was anxious to get rid of him now, as it was time for me to be off to the station. I must have betrayed my impatience somehow, for he started, stared a moment, and sat down.
gpt
You're in a deuce of a hurry.
human
Dinner time, and I'm hungry. Clear out.
gpt
Nice room you've got here, Lassen, he answered, squinting round, and started again as his eyes fell on my suit case.
human
O-ho, that's the game, is it? he chuckled.
gpt
Going to bolt? No good, my friend, no good at all.
human
You'd better drop that tone with me, von Erstein, and not interfere with my movements.
gpt
Shall we go and dine together? he sneered.
human
It'll be safer, for there are a few inquisitive friends of mine waiting outside.
