Tibbie, I said, presently, after we had been chatting some time,
gpt
I am compelled to leave London, and I confess I am very apprehensive on your behalf.
human
Leave London! she exclaimed.
gpt
Why?
human
It is imperative. Winsloe is watching me, and is doing all he can to discover you. Every time I come here I run a great risk.
gpt
I know, she said, frowning.
human
His spies are no doubt dogging your footsteps everywhere.
gpt
Then your position here is unsafe. You would do better to escape from London now, and hide in the country--say in one of the larger towns in the north.
human
Yes; but the police are in search of me, remember. The mater and Jack have raised a hue and cry. They think I've met with foul play.
gpt
Then all the more reason why you should slip out of London. The country police are slower, and you will stand less chance of recognition.
human
Ah, Wilfrid! It is cruel--cruel of them to hunt me down as they are now doing. Where shall I go? Where do you intend going?
gpt
Anywhere--out of London. What about Leeds? Neither of us know anyone there.
human
I am in your hands entirely, Wilfrid, and will go to Leeds if you think I can travel without being recognised.
gpt
If I anticipated any risk I would not allow you to undertake it, I said.
human
We will go this evening by the 5:45 from King's Cross--`Oswin's train,' as they call it, because he is the caterer for the dining-car.
gpt
Very well, she answered.
human
As you wish. But before we go will you do me a favour? Go to the _Daily Telegraph_ office and put in an advertisement for me.
gpt
An advertisement!
human
Yes, she laughed, rather nervously.
gpt
I want to--I mean it is necessary that I should communicate with a friend.
