For God's sake save us!
gpt
Jones, is there no way of saving the lives of those poor creatures?
human
Yes, there is one way, and only one. The large iron door, opening from the room where the people are imprisoned into the main hallway, is locked, and here is the key. If that door could be opened and the door connecting with the winding staircase on the outside of the building unbolted, every person could escape, sir.
gpt
Cannot some one open those doors? Why, man, what are you thinking about?
human
But, sir, to get at the main door one must pass through the narrow hall on the first and second floors, and the first hall is on fire for a short distance.
gpt
My God! what can be done? exclaimed Senator Hamblin.
human
It is fearful to see those people perish. Where is this hallway, Jones?
gpt
Step this way and I will show you.
