My father has re-considered his decision not to employ you further. He will be glad to have you stay according to the original arrangement.

I'll stay for fifty,

Are you trying to hold us up?
gpt
If that's what you want to call it, said Evan.

gpt
Well, I'll pay it, said George Deaves with a sour face,
human
I'll do it, said Evan.

human
Just as you like,

No answer.
