You saw? said Lord Wisbeach.
gpt
He was listening. Who is that man? Your butler apparently. What do you know of him?
human
He is my new butler. His name is Skinner.
gpt
Ah, your _new_ butler? He hasn't been with you long, then?
human
He only arrived from England three days ago.
gpt
From England? How did he get in here? I mean, on whose recommendation?
human
Mr. Pett offered him the place when we met him at my sister's in London. We went over there to see my sister, Eugenia--Mrs. Crocker. This man was the butler who admitted us. He asked Mr. Pett something about baseball, and Mr. Pett was so pleased that he offered him a place here if he wanted to come over. The man did not give any definite answer then, but apparently he sailed on the next boat, and came to the house a few days after we had returned.
gpt
Very smart. Of course they had him planted there for the purpose.
human
What ought I to do?
gpt
Do nothing. There is nothing that you can do, for the present, except keep your eyes open. Watch this man Skinner. See if he has any accomplices. It is hardly likely that he is working alone. Suspect everybody. Believe me . . .
