Isn't Ned here yet?
gpt
Yes, all right, answered a muffled voice to the left.
human
I just came out; here are the grips and other things.
gpt
Sure you cleaned up everything?
human
Never left a pin; here, Moore, pass them up inside.
gpt
And about the note?
human
She wrote that, and pinned it on the pillow.
gpt
Good, that will leave things in fine shape, he laughed.
human
I'd like to see Jim's face when he reads that, and the madder he gets the less he will know what to do.
gpt
And you want us to stay?
human
Stay--of course; I am going to stay myself. It is the only way to divert suspicion. Good Lord, man, if we all disappeared at once they would know easy enough what had happened. Don't you ever believe Westcott is that kind of a fool. More than that--there will be no safety for us now until we get him out of the way; he knows too much. Whereas your fat friend--old money-bags?
gpt
He thought it best to keep out of it; he's back inside.
human
I imagined so; this sort of thing is not in his line. All ready, Joe?
gpt
Then up you go, miss; here, put your foot on the wheel; give her a lift, will you?
