Yes, I’m Donelle Morey,
gpt
I know all about you. Mrs. Lindsay was my friend. I thought Mr. Law was going to look after you. Has he been up here, Mr. Anderson Law?
human
No, Mr. Law has never been here.
gpt
I suppose he sent Mr. Norval?

I will save the girl as far as I can, she thought,

I do wish you would sit down. You make me feel quite uncomfortable.
gpt

You have known my husband as—as Richard Alton. You see, Mr. Law was going abroad; he was to have carried out Mrs. Lindsay’s wishes for you, but he sent my husband instead. I suppose Mr. Norval wanted to know you well before he disclosed his errand.
gpt
I see I have surprised you, child?
human
It is always a bit of a shock to find that someone has—played with you. But I’m sure my husband meant no harm, at first; and then he would not know how to get out of his scrape. That would be like him, too.
