No good?
gpt
I won't.
human
This is your real name, I suppose.
gpt
There was a Frencham Altar mixed up in that Patagonian business.
human
My father. Went broke and shot himself, you know.
gpt
I remember. Left you on the rocks, so to speak.
human
Yes, and wedged there good and hard. You see he aimed at my being a gentleman and nothing else--never was taught how to earn a living. That's why I'm cutting rather a deplorable figure now.
gpt
I can't agree, said Cranbourne generously.
human
I think your father realised his ambition. Goodnight.
gpt
Night-oh!
human
I'm almost ashamed of having dragged you into this business,
gpt
Don't you fret, my dear fellar. I'm delighted. I've been spending that five thousand in imagination ever since I heard of it. Think I'll emigrate in the fine style.
human
Hm! he paused.
gpt
Altar! I shouldn't really tell you this, but you're likely to be kidnapped tonight.
human
What?
gpt
I thought you might like to know.
human
Thanks very much.
gpt
That's all.
human
Hang on a minute. Do you want me to defend myself? I'm pretty useful with my hands or a gun either for that matter.
gpt
It would help us if you did nothing at all--except comply.
human
Oh, very well, if you say so.
gpt
Thank you, said Cranbourne.
human
The best of luck, old chap.
gpt
You bet.
human
Kidnapped, eh! What a game. Doran!
gpt
Sir,
human
Have I got any clothes?
gpt
In the bedroom, sir.
human
Righto.
gpt
I think this is a nice bedroom of mine, don't you?
human
Very nice flat altogether. What sort of taste have I in the matter of clothes?
gpt
Pretty good, sir. I've laid out a blue cheviot.
human
Aha! And an M.C.C. tie. Shan't wear that.
gpt
No, sir.
human
I'm not a member.
gpt
But in the circumstances, sir.
human
P'raps you're right. A sound taste in shirtings, I see.
gpt
Rather a strong feature with us, sir.
