You delivered the package to Mr. Goodrich all right, I suppose?
gpt
Yes, sir. I handed the receipt to the cashier.

You didn't have much sleep, said Mr. Bacon.
gpt
If you feel tired this afternoon you can go home at four o'clock.
human
Thank you, sir, but I don't think that will be necessary. I'll have plenty of time to make up my lost rest by going to bed directly after supper. Mr. Mason told me that I will be required to appear in court at Carlin this afternoon when the men are brought up before the magistrate. He told me I should take the half-past twelve train down, and that he would meet me at the station. Can I go?
gpt
Certainly. I have no right to prevent you giving your testimony in court.
