My friends and I have been openly accused of felony and threatened with arrest.
gpt
I was mistaken, he said thickly.
human
I--I apologize.
gpt
You mean to say you believed that to be your car?
human
I did.
gpt
Why?
human
It's exactly like it.
gpt
There must be some difference.
human
There's no difference at all. If mine were here, I'd defy you to tell them apart.
gpt
Do you seriously suggest that I shouldn't know my own car?
human
I do.
gpt
And that such a mistake on my part would be excusable?
human
Certainly.
gpt
Thank you, said Jonah.
human
That excusable mistake was made this morning. My car was stolen and sought for. Your car was found. If you will accompany me to the stables, I shall be happy to restore it to you at once.

human
Come, sir, said Jonah icily.
gpt
I feel sure that the ladies will excuse your withdrawal.
