Go ahead and talk, Norman growled.

Get it out of your system.

They could skip to Canada, temporarily, I said.

If we drop the case against Blackie, they’ll squash this warrant.

Are you all through? Norman asked.
gpt
Well, then, listen to me. I’m not going to skip. I’m not going to let up on that scoundrel. I’m not going to ’quit’! Not for a minute! I’d be on my way to the City Hall marriage bureau already, if old law-books here didn’t say I needed the consent of Nina’s mother. If you want to be helpful—produce a mother-in-law. Buy the old lady, kidnap her, club her—anything—but produce her in a consenting frame of mind. If you don’t want to help—run along. I’ll turn the trick myself. It’s a cinch. We’ll give ourselves up and be married in the Tombs.
human
All right, I said.
gpt
I’ll fix that. Don’t take any chances by going out of this private room. As soon as I snare the old lady, I’ll telephone. It may be a long hunt, but sit tight.
