I saw all I wanted to, he said,
gpt
I suppose you sent for the police this morning?
human
No, I didn't. I don't trust the police. I wouldn't trust the magistrates here, except you, of course, Excellency. What I'm going to do is write to the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
gpt
Good gracious, Godfrey! Why the Chancellor of the Exchequer? What interest can you expect him to take in your fights? If you are going to make a political matter of it at all, you'd far better try the Secretary of State for War. It's much more in his line.
human
But the Chancellor of the Exchequer is the man who's responsible for the revenue, isn't he?
gpt
You can't expect him to give you a pension simply because Power knocked out your teeth.
human
He'll stop Power smuggling,
gpt
I suppose, I said,
human
I saw him at it, said Godfrey,
gpt
What on earth do you expect to gain by that?
human
He ought to be grateful to me for putting him on the track of the smuggling, said Godfrey.
gpt
I should think he'd want to do something for me afterwards. He might--
human
Give you a job,
gpt
Yes, said Godfrey.
human
I always heard that fellows in the Treasury got good salaries.
