What is the matter?
gpt
Gladys--my sister----
human
Has anything happened to her?
gpt
We cannot find her.
human
She has not returned to the hotel?
gpt
No.
human
Oh, there can be no occasion for alarm. I told you she got out of the theater all right.
gpt
But she may have returned.
human
What should she return for? But she did not; that I am sure of.
gpt
Where is she, then?
human
Oh, don't worry, my boy; she will turn up all right. Perhaps she has gone to visit friends.
gpt
Would she be likely to visit friends under such circumstances? said the boy, almost angrily.
human
She has no acquaintances in this place--she told me so only this afternoon; and if she had, this is not the time she would choose for making a social call.
gpt
No, of course not, my boy. Well, what do you think has become of her?
human
I believe that she has been the victim of foul play. Have you forgotten Farley's letter?
gpt
It may be so.
human
I am sure it is.
gpt
But I have seen nothing of Farley.
human
He would not be likely to let you see anything of him if he could help it.
gpt
True. Well, what shall we do? Command me, my boy; I am at your service.
