Ah, Senator, how do you do? Glad to see you. You look surprised. Didn't expect to see me to-day, eh?
gpt
No, I did not expect you, Mannis, but I am glad to see you. Walk in, and be seated.

Mannis, this is bad business. Yesterday I sent poor Alden away as if he were a common thief. To-day I am a changed man and must give up this business, for it is a damnable scheme.

Pshaw! Senator, you are only doing your duty; beside it is too late to turn back now. Tut, tut, man, another day will calm your mind and all will be well.

I suppose I am weak, but the scene I passed through yesterday has quite unmanned me; I will soon throw off this spell, realizing now that only the successful development of our scheme will save us. But I was a fool to ever begin it.
