human
But--she doesn't know anything about you or against you,
gpt
She has caused me a lot of trouble and, she _might_ know.
human
You mean, her memory?
gpt
Yes, it might come back.
human
Of course, agreed the other with judicial fairness.
gpt
I asked Duprat about it and he said _it might_.
human
Ah, you see!
gpt
And--when do you--begin?
human
There's no hurry. When we get through talking. Is there anything else you want to ask?
gpt
Was it you personally who killed my dog?
human
Yes.
gpt
And my mother? His face was very white and his voice trembled.
human
Did you--did you intend to kill her?
gpt
I left that to chance.
human
That's all, said Coquenil.
gpt
I--I am ready now.
human
We take our medicine, eh? I took mine when you had me hitched to that heart machine, and--now you'll take yours. Good-by, Coquenil, he held out his hand,
gpt
I'm sorry.
human
Good-by, answered the detective with quiet dignity.
gpt
If it's all the same to you, I--I won't shake hands.
human
No? Ah, well! I'll send in the girl.
gpt
Wait! said M. Paul.
human
You have left your diary.
gpt
I intended to leave it; the book has served its purpose, I'm tired of it. Don't be alarmed, _it will not be found_. He glanced with grim confidence at the stacked wood.
human
You'll have fifteen or twenty minutes after she comes in, that is, if you make no disturbance. Good-by.
