And how is it that you were not arrested, as well as Mr. Marshall?
gpt
There was much confusion. We became separated. I found myself running; I was carried along in the rush of the crowd. Before I knew it I was in the street again. And besides --Pete made a gesture of appeal
human
I'm sure it was very fortunate you were there, said Mary.
gpt
You seemed to understand exactly what to do.
human
Just one more question, added Mary.
gpt
Is this Mr. Whaley whom I saw at court a particularly close friend of Mr. Marshall's?
human
It seems, miss, as nearly as I can learn, that for quite a long time the Whaley person has been known to Mr. William. I frequently took occasion----
gpt
Never mind, she said.
human
I understand. You labored with him on that matter, also. I have no doubt that you prayed with him and preached at him. I am sure you did everything in your power. I won't embarrass you by asking for the details. Some day I feel certain your efforts to exert a good influence over Mr. Marshall will have better success.
gpt
Thank you, miss,
human
But meantime---- And as Mary leaned forward her knuckles were tapping firmly on the arm of the chair.
gpt
Meantime, if I may make a suggestion, it would be an excellent plan for you to remain away from prize-fights.
human
Yes, miss.
gpt
And it would be a very good thing for Mr. Marshall to do likewise--very good.
human
You're quite sure you understand?
gpt
Oh, quite--quite.
human
Good night,
