Bats? Her Majesty said suddenly, but gently.
gpt
Shame on you, Sir Kenneth. These are poor, sick people. We must do our best to help them--not to think up silly names for them. For shame!
human
I suppose so, Malone said wearily. He sighed and, for the fifth time that day, he asked:
gpt
Does Your Majesty have any idea where our spy is now?
human
Well, really, Sir Kenneth, the Queen said with the slightest of hesitations,
gpt
Oh, fine, Malone said.
human
Well, have you got into contact with his mind yet?
gpt
Oh, yes, Her Majesty said happily.
human
And my goodness, he's certainly digging up a lot of information, isn't he?
gpt
But who _is_ he?
human
He hasn't thought of his name yet, she said.
gpt
I mean, at least if he has, he hasn't mentioned it to me. Really, Sir Kenneth, you have no idea how difficult all this is.
human
he said.
gpt
Can you tell me that, at least? His location?
human
I can't be sure, she said.
gpt
I really can't be exactly sure just where he is. He does keep moving around, I know that. But you have to remember that he doesn't want me to find him. He certainly doesn't want to be found by the FBI ... would you?
human
Your Majesty, Malone said,
gpt
I _am_ the FBI.
human
Yes, the Queen said,
gpt
A game!
human
Believe me, Sir Kenneth, the minute I know exactly where he is, I'll tell you. I promise. Cross my heart and hope to die--which I can't, of course, being immortal. Nevertheless, she made an X-mark over her left breast.
gpt
All right?
human
All right, Malone said, out of sheer necessity.
gpt
O.K. But don't waste any time telling me. Do it right away. We've _got_ to find that spy and isolate him somehow.
human
Please don't worry yourself, Sir Kenneth, Her Majesty said.
gpt
Your Queen is doing everything she can.
human
I know that, Your Majesty, Malone said.
gpt
I'm sure of it.
