Let me!
gpt
Thank you, thank you! You are as cold as ice. Are you well wrapped up?
human
Yes, quite. I am never very warm, you know. It is not my nature. Is Mr. Damer ready? I hope you will not delay your departure on my account. Sir Giles will not be long, I think.
gpt
We will send Nap Errol to find him,
human
Oh, no, thank you. That is quite unnecessary. Please do not trouble about me. A few minutes more or less make little difference.
gpt
I am quite ready, you see, she said.
human
I shall leave the moment he appears.
gpt
My dear Lady Carfax, you have the patience of a saint. I am afraid Phil does not find me so long-suffering. Mrs. Damer bustled back into the hall.
human
Are you there, Nap? Do see if you can find Sir Giles. Poor Lady Carfax is half-dead with cold and fit to drop with fatigue. Go and tell him so.
gpt
Please do nothing of the sort, said Lady Carfax behind her.
human
No doubt he will come when he is ready.
gpt
Let me put you into your carriage first, Mrs. Damer, he said, offering his arm.
human
Your husband is busy for the moment--some trifling matter. He begs you will not wait for him. I will drive him back in my motor. I have to pass your way, you know.
