If you can explain what the fellow means by sending a letter like that I can't; it's beyond me altogether. As she read he commented.
gpt
Fancy calling us 'Dear friends.'
human
What an extraordinary thing for him to do.
gpt
A butler!
human
It's quite inexplicable.
gpt
What on earth has he to say to us which is of the least importance?
human
That's it; what can he have?
gpt
He practically orders us not to leave the place till it pleases him to come.
human
It does--it does amount to that, doesn't it?
gpt
Fancy his telling us to let them know in the house where, at any moment, we're to be found, as if the one thing to be considered was his sovereign pleasure!
human
That is really remarkable.
gpt
Remarkable! I should say so; remarkable is a mild way of putting it. I've half-a-mind to pack directly after breakfast and leave the place this morning; the idea of his attempting to dictate to us! As I say, the only explanation I can think of is that the fellow's stark, staring mad.
human
That--that must be it.
