I know what is the matter with you,
gpt
Do you?
human
Yes, continued the other;
gpt
What a kind chap you are! said Edwards with a broken voice, and with water in his eyes, for he was very weak and nervous;
human
I--I don't deserve it.
gpt
Not? exclaimed Crawley.
human
Why, surely I ought to do what I can, when it is my fault that you got hurt. I am most unlucky this term; I get robbed, and am suspected of inventing the story of it to cover my misappropriation of the money; and then I wind up with breaking a fellow's ribs!
gpt
No one thinks for a moment that you were not robbed as you say; I am certain of it!
human
I don't know about that; some of them said they did, and I would give anything to prove that they did me wrong. It will stick in my gizzard a long time, I can tell you.
gpt
I can bear it no longer, he cried at last.
human
You so kind to me and all! I know who robbed you.
gpt
You!
human
Yes, I, repeated Edwards.
gpt
I did not see it done, and he never told me he had done it, but I know he did, and--and, I profited by the money and never said anything.
human
Come, come, Edwards, you are ill and weak, and exciting yourself too much. We will talk about this another time.
gpt
No, no, now; I must speak; it is killing me.
