Well, what do you want?
gpt
I wish to see Major Jones-Farnell,
human
Oh, then he can't see you,
gpt
Wait, cried Carrington, placing his foot against it;
human
I'm your neighbour, the Squire's son, and I am desirous of making the Major's acquaintance.
gpt
I tell you, you can't see him. He's engaged. Take your foot away.
human
All in good time, my friend. Do I understand that you refuse to take my message to Major Jones-Farnell?
gpt
That's about it. And, d'yer hear, take your foot out of the doorway, or I'll put it out for you.
human
Be very careful, my good man, exclaimed Laurence.
gpt
I know who you are. You're the man who struck me last night when disguised as a woman. I know you. There's something mysterious going on in this house, and I shall not stop until I've solved it. Admit me at once to your master, or whoever the owner of this house is, or I go at once to the police and obtain an order to search the place on suspicion. My father is a magistrate----

So you think there's a mystery about this house, do you? Well, you're finely mistaken this time, my beauty. Even if there was a mystery it would take more than the likes of you to get to the bottom of it.
