Mr Louvaine owes me nothing, I do ensure you.
gpt
I heard you had lent him twenty pounds?
human
I did; but it was repaid a month ago.
gpt
By Aubrey?
human
So I suppose. I understood so much,
gpt
He repaid it not himself, then?
human
Himself, nay--he sent it to me; but I gave the quittance as to Mr Louvaine.
gpt
I thank you, Mr Rookwood. Then that ends the matter.
human
Madam, she announced in a stern voice,
gpt
I am that flabbergasted as never was! Here's Mr Tom Rookwood saith that Aubrey paid him his money a month gone.
human
Why, Aubrey told me this afternoon that he owed him twenty pounds,
gpt
Hans, what meaneth this?
human
Methinks, Madam, it means merely that I told you the truth. Mr Rookwood, you see, bears me out.
gpt
He saith Aubrey sent the money by a messenger, unto whom he gave the quittance. Dear heart, but if he lost it!
human
Yet Aubrey must have known, if he sent the money,
gpt
The messenger lost not the quittance, said Hans.
human
It is quite safe.
