human
The fact that you telegraph to Jack implies that there is something to telegraph about, said Comber.
gpt
There is nothing.
human
I don't care a damn, he observed.
gpt
Either you go or I telegraph. Take your time, but please settle as soon as you can. I don't want to make things unpleasant, and if you say that your only aunt is very ill, and that you have been sent for, I won't contradict it--in fact, I'll bear you out if Kit makes a fuss.

gpt
I can take care of myself.
human
And of Kit, it seems.
gpt
And of Kit--at least, it seems so, as you say.
