What has happened? asked Cyril in a hoarse whisper, dragging his friend into a secluded corner.
gpt
Tell me at once.
human
Nothing, my dear boy. I am afraid I kept you waiting longer than I intended to. I hope you have not been anxious?
gpt
Anxious! exclaimed Cyril indignantly.
human
Well, rather! How could you have kept me in such suspense? Why didn't you come to me at once on leaving Miss Prentice?
gpt
But I did. I have just left her.
human
And she is really all right? The governess, Miss What's her name, is with her?
gpt
Certainly. But I didn't want to leave Mrs. Thompkins alone with a stranger in a strange place, so I stayed and lunched with them.
