It looks as if somebody had been here that had no right to,
gpt
It does indeed, assented Ephraim.
human
I think we ought to have Mr. Brancker here as soon as possible.
gpt
Right you are; and there's the poor gentleman's relations to be told. Who's to do that?
human
I will go and break the news to Mr. Clement--that's the doctor--if you like, and then he can tell the others.
gpt
Do so, please; and could you not call on Mr. Brancker at the same time?
human
He lives in an opposite direction. One of your men might fetch him in ten minutes. By-the-bye, I shouldn't be a bit surprised if Mr. B. was the last person who saw the Governor alive.
gpt
Ah; in that case the sooner we have him here the better. But what reason have you for saying so?
human
Why, I met him about half-past ten last night on his way to the Bank. He said that he was coming to fetch his umbrella, but he may have seen Mr. H. at the same time.
gpt
Um! Well, we shall hear what he has to say when he arrives.
human
No doubt Sweet can tell you more of the matter than I can.
