You stay here with Miss Freedom, Peaches, he commanded,
gpt
We better take a couple of shooting irons along, remarked Mr. Pegg, producing a revolver from each pocket of his raincoat in a nonchalant manner.
human
Never can tell but what there may be an ambush some place.
gpt
All right! agreed Sebastian, accepting one.
human
No harm, no harm to have it. Where's that man Wilkes?
gpt
The police will come at once, sir, he reported. Then, seeing the revolvers:
human
Shall I go along with you?
gpt
No, said Markheim.
human
Get the other servants down, and count noses, damn quick. Then tell Jorkins to make a double shaker of cocktails and some sandwiches and bring them here. We will be back as soon as we can.
gpt
What'll we do--'fess up? asked Peaches.
human
I have a feeling that there's going to be hell to pay.
gpt
Alicia! I remarked.
human
No lady uses such language, as I have reminded you at least a hundred thousand times! No, I don't think we will say a word about our futile adventure--or, to be accurate, our attempted adventure. At least not unless something brought out by the police seems to demand that we do.
gpt
Have you been taking a good look at him?
human
Who? That man Wilkes?
gpt
No--my ex-fiancé,
human
Which one do you mean?
gpt
Mark,
human
Alicia Pegg, what did you say?
gpt
I said did you take a good look at Sebastian in that purple dressing gown?
human
How could I help doing so?
gpt
That's just it, she remarked in a tone of finality.
human
That finishes it!
gpt
Finishes what?
human
Our engagement, she said firmly.
gpt
The combination of temper and dressing gown.
human
But with all due modesty you must have expected to see him in a dressing gown after you were married,
gpt
And he not only looks like the devil in it but stands there and tells me to sit quiet until he comes back, just as though I wasn't a better shot than he is! Ugh--that dressing gown!
human
Well, what did you expect?
gpt
Sandro is dressed,
human
Don't call him that! I exclaimed, fairly exasperated with the girl.
gpt
You have absolutely no proof that it's Sandro.
human
I'll get proof, she said.
gpt
You wait--I'll get proof.
human
Nonsense! I said.
gpt
Hush up! Here he comes.
