Mr Frewen, I whispered as I rose,
gpt
There is no difference which I can detect,
human
But you will--you will--
gpt
Will what, Dale?
human
You will not treat him as if--as if he were a criminal?
gpt
How can I help it? He is one. We have him to thank for our position here, for those two people being left on the ship, at the mercy of those scoundrels.
human
Yes, I faltered,
gpt
A doctor revengeful, Dale?
human
I don't mean that, I said.
gpt
I mean, you will do your best to save his life?
human
For him to be punished by the law?
gpt
I was not thinking of that, I said hastily.
human
I mean, that you will do all you can to cure him, Mr Frewen?
gpt
Why, of course, my lad--of course. Am I not a doctor? I am neither prosecutor nor judge. You have curious ideas about my profession.
human
I could not help it, Mr Frewen, I pleaded.
gpt
It is only that I am so anxious for him to recover.
human
And do you another ill turn, Dale--betray us once more!
gpt
No, no, it isn't that. I cried;
human
Perhaps so, if he were well enough; but who would ever dream of trusting him again?
