Is there anything I can do?
gpt
Yes, keep away from here, returned Garth curtly.
human
If I catch you within a hundred yards of my camp, I'll wing you so you won't move again as long as we're here.
gpt
You needn't take that tone, he grumbled.
human
I came in friendliness. I want to have a talk with you.
gpt
I'm listening,
human
Damn it! How can a man make friendly advances when you're standing over him with a gun!
gpt
Say what you've got to say, or clear out,
human
Well, look here! he said at last.
gpt
This is it. Here are the three of us up here----
human
Four,
gpt
Well, four if you like, said Mabyn.
human
We're stuck here together. We can't afford to quarrel. We've got to have some working agreement.
gpt
Is that all?
human
I wouldn't take this from any man if it wasn't that I was bent on avoiding trouble,
gpt
Look here, began Mabyn afresh, with a reasonable air.
human
I came to offer you the shack for Natalie. She can't sleep in the open in her condition.
gpt
Much obliged, said Garth coolly.
human
I intended to take it in the first place. But Miss Bland refused to allow herself to be carried there.
gpt
What are you going to do?
human
Build her a house,
gpt
Is that all you have to say?
human
Look here-- he began all over.
gpt
I don't know your name----
human
Well, Pevensey, I'm sorry for what passed this morning. I regret what I said. I was only half awake; and scarcely knew what I did. Will you overlook it?
gpt
Talk is cheap, said Garth guardedly.
human
I will be guided by your actions henceforth.
gpt
As to the future, he said,
human
I mean to show you. You'll soon be satisfied! He came closer.
gpt
In the meantime let's make a truce! Shake hands on it!
