gpt
Tell me all about it.

Have you still that five thousand pounds Cousin Andrew left you?
gpt
Why of course I have,--and it's rather more now, for luckily we didn't put it into Consols; we put it into a Canadian security.

Why should it be?
gpt
Could you get at it without Dick's knowing?
human
Yes, I suppose I could.
gpt
Fanny, I want you to lend me four thousand pounds.
human

human
Of course he won't know, Fanny smiled.
gpt
You don't suppose I tell Dick everything?
