Come back,
gpt
Have I not pleased you, master?
human
Yes. You have pleased me. But I wish you could have learned more.
gpt
What did I say?
human
Never mind. Here --Durgo produced a small canvas bag from his pocket--
gpt
Fifty sovereigns, lovey, she mumbled, her eyes glowing with avaricious delight.
human
Thank you, master; oh, thank you.
gpt
In an hour, said Durgo, indifferent to her thanks,
human
I shall send you a small bottle containing a draught, which you can give to your grandson. It will put him right; but of course a few days will elapse before he can get quite strong again. This place --he glanced disparagingly round the dingy hut--
gpt
So I thought, master. And to-night Luke is going to my sister's caravan. It's on the road outside Marshely, and the gel can take him there. If Luke has a month or two of the open road, he'll soon be himself again. Anything more I can tell you, master?
human
No. But to-night I am coming here, shortly after moonrise. Get rid of your grandson beforehand, if you can.
gpt
What is to be done, master?
human
Never mind. Do as you're told. Good-day,
gpt
How did you manage all that?
human
Hypnotism, said Durgo shortly.
gpt
You heard that Mr. and Mrs. Vand intend to fly to-night?
human
I have heard: yet I cannot believe in that hanky-panky.
