This is where my man sleeps,
gpt
What is this? he asked sharply.
human
What is the meaning of this?
gpt
After I got out of the vault, I washed here, he said.
human
I had cut my hands a good deal, as you see. Of course the blood came off on the towels.
gpt
I understand, he said.
human
But do you generally wash in your servant's room?
gpt
No. It happened to be convenient when I got in. There was water here, and there were towels.
human
It is strange,
gpt
Do you not see, he asked of the detective,
human
That is a sufficient explanation, I am sure,
gpt
Perfectly, perfectly, answered the detective, smiling.
human
Wrap up those towels in a newspaper, he said to the two soldiers.
gpt
We will take them with us. You see, he continued in an apologetic tone,
human
I hope he is not so seriously injured,
gpt
The report we received was that his skull was fractured, answered the detective calmly.
human
The hospitals report all suspicious cases to the police stations by telephone during the night, and of course, as your man refused to speak, special enquiries were made about the wounded gentleman.
gpt
I understand, said Malipieri.
human
And now, I suppose, you have made a sufficient search.
gpt
We have not seen your own room. If you will show me that, as a mere formality, I think I need not trouble you any further.
human
I fancy, the detective said,
gpt
There is a small room before it, where I keep my clothes.
human
I suppose we can go through the small room?
gpt
You may see that, said Malipieri,
human
How very strange!
gpt
I see! I see!
