Surely he is prepared. Surely that is not Moore meeting them alone?
gpt
It is. We must go to him. I _will_ go to him.
human
Why did I come, then? I came only for him. I shall join him.
gpt
Fortunately it is out of your power. There is no entrance to the yard.
human
There _is_ a small entrance at the back, besides the gates in front. It opens by a secret method which I know. I will try it.
gpt
Not with my leave.
human
Not one step shall you stir, she went on authoritatively.
gpt
At this moment Moore would be both shocked and embarrassed if he saw either you or me. Men never want women near them in time of real danger.
human
I would not trouble--I would help him,
gpt
How?--by inspiring him with heroism? Pooh! these are not the days of chivalry. It is not a tilt at a tournament we are going to behold, but a struggle about money, and food, and life.
human
It is natural that I should be at his side.
gpt
As queen of his heart? His mill is his lady-love, Cary! Backed by his factory and his frames, he has all the encouragement he wants or can know. It is not for love or beauty, but for ledger and broadcloth, he is going to break a spear. Don't be sentimental; Robert is not so.
human
I _could_ help him; I _will_ seek him.
gpt
Off then--I let you go--seek Moore. You'll not find him.
human
Look well there is no mistake!
