Look here! he said.
gpt
It's no good kicking up a row. Unluckily for her, they found the key with which they opened your safe in her possession. D'you take my meaning?
human
That's impossible! he said confidently.
gpt
There are but two keys, and I have them both.
human
There must have been a third key, he said slowly.
gpt
I've got it here myself. It was hidden away in an old-fashioned dressing-case. Besides, Mrs. Head didn't put up any fight. But if she can prove, as she says, that she knows no German, and that you didn't know she had a key of the safe--for that's what she says--well, that'll help her, of course.
human
But there's nothing _in_ the safe, Head objected, quickly,
gpt
That's as may be, he said cautiously.
human
I know nothing of all that. They've been sealed up, and are going off to London. What caused you to be arrested, Mr. Head--this much I may tell you--is information which was telephoned down to that London gentleman half an hour ago. But it was just an accident that the key Mrs. Head had hidden away was found so quickly--just a bit of bad luck for her, if I may say so.
gpt
Then I suppose I shan't be allowed to see Polly?
human
Well, we'll see about that! I'll see what I can do for you. You're not to be charged till to-morrow morning. Then you'll be charged along with that man--the man who came to the Trellis House this morning. He's been found too. He went straight to those Pollits--you follow my meaning? Mrs. Pollit is the daughter of that old German woman. I never could abide _her_! Often and often I said to my missis, as I see her go crawling about, 'There's a German as is taking away a good job from an English woman.' So she was. Well, I must now tell them where to take you. And I'm afraid you'll have to be stripped and searched--that's the order in these kind of cases.
gpt
I don't mind, he said stoutly.
human
I'm an innocent man.
