Le Compte, this is the last time I shall come here, and it is the last time you will have an opportunity of making a dollar out of any information you may possess. Now, sir, I said, savagely, starting towards the door,
gpt
You little villain!
human
Please don't go. My dear sir, you are so greatly abrupt. We have no men like you in La Belle France.
gpt
Heaven knows, I hope but few _like_ you, I responded.
human
Now, which is it, yes, or no? I will give you just thirty seconds in which to answer,
gpt
Yes.
human
Well, Le Compte, now go ahead with your story like a man.
gpt
What must it be like?
human
What must it be like? I repeated, aghast.
gpt
Why, you don't intend to manufacture a story for me against this woman, do you?
human
Oh, no, no, never. But I must know first how bad it must be, when it is worth three hundred dollars, which you call such great money?
gpt
Well, said I, all out of patience,
human
Will you put it to paper?
gpt
No, sir, you have my word for it, that's all.
