There! he said, and with a heavy finger he pointed to a scrawl of words.
gpt
There's what she wrote, and you know damned well you put her up to it.
human
I have no idea what this means,
gpt
You lie!
human
Take that back, he ordered with a look of menace, and the rough man grumbled an apology.
gpt

Knew what?
gpt
I have no idea.
human

gpt
Strange! mused the detective.
human
Is it an important thing?
gpt
Is it? If it hadn't been about the _most_ important thing, do you think I'd have broken a prison rule and let her see that man? Well, I guess not. But I was up against it and--I took a chance.
human
I don't suppose you want to tell me what these words mean that she wrote?
gpt
No, I don't,
human

human
Can't have him.
gpt
No? Here's the judge's order.
human
I've had later orders, just got 'em over the telephone, saying you're not to see the prisoner.
gpt

human
That's right, and _he_ wants to see you.
gpt
He? Who?
human
The judge. They've called me down, now it's your turn.
