human
Yes, he's very bad, said Mr Frewen at last,
gpt
I shall have to get ready a mixture for him--something pretty strong too.
human
Yes, said Mr Frewen to me, but watching his patient the while;
gpt
Do you think he is very bad, Mr Frewen?
human
Oh yes--very, was the reply.
gpt
Not dangerous!
human
Yes, decidedly dangerous,
gpt
Then he ought not to be left?
human
Oh yes, better left. He'll come round. There, I'm going to see how the other prisoners are getting on. I'm afraid that I am badly wanted there.
gpt
Oughtn't I to stop and nurse him?
human
No; certainly not. He is better alone. This kind of case does not require attention--only time. Come along,
gpt
All right, Mr Frewen; I'll come directly,
human
But I want to fasten the door,
gpt
I'll fasten it when I come out.
human
No, that will not do; Mr Brymer said that the door was to be kept fast, and I can't go away and leave it.
gpt
But I want to talk to him, I whispered.
human
Lock me in for a bit.
gpt
And suppose he turns savage with you, and tries to get your weapons?
human
I shan't let him have them, I replied.
gpt
Besides, he's weak and ill.
human
Humph!--not so very, my lad. There, I'll lock you in, and come and let you out in a quarter of an hour.
