Please shake hands and say you're glad, she said.
gpt
Don't look so--so--frightened. This is my room and you are safe here.
human
I--I don't understand, he struggled.
gpt
Marette, where is Kedsty?
human
He should be returning very soon.
gpt
And he knows you are here, of course?
human
I have been here for a month.
gpt
I--I don't understand, he repeated.
human
Tonight Kedsty will know that it was you who rescued me and you who shot Constable Willis. Good God, we must lose no time in getting away!
gpt
There is great reason why Kedsty dare not betray my presence in his house, she said quietly.
human
He would die first! And he will not suspect that I have brought you to my room, that an escaped murderer is hiding under the very roof of the Inspector of Police! They will search for you everywhere but here! Isn't it splendid? He planned it all, every move, even to the screaming in front of your cell--
gpt
You mean--Kedsty?
human
No, not Kedsty. He would hang you, and he would kill me, if he dared. I mean that great, big, funny-looking friend of yours, M'sieu Fingers!
