Saurin! said Crawley, when he had heard all.
gpt
I never thought very much of him, but I had no idea he was so bad as that. But don't you fret, Edwards; you were put in a very queer position, and nobody could say what he would do if he suddenly found it his duty to denounce an intimate friend for a crime which was committed to get out of a scrape in which he himself was implicated. It would be an awful hole to be in! How far have you told me all this in confidence?
human
I leave that quite to you. I do not ask to be spared myself, but if you could be cleared and satisfied without Saurin being publicly tried and sent to prison, I should be very grateful.
gpt
All right! I think I can manage that. And now, don't you bother yourself; you shall not get into any row, that I promise.
human
Oh, Crawley, what a good fellow you are! cried Edwards.
gpt
I wish I had got killed, instead of only breaking a couple of ribs!
human
And let me in for being tried for manslaughter! exclaimed Crawley, laughing.
gpt
Thank you for nothing, my boy.
human
Old Algebra,
gpt
You will condescend to speak to me at last, then?
human
I could not suppose that you wished to hold any communication with a defaulter, replied Crawley,
gpt
All right! I will come if you wish it.
human
Thank you very much.
