Get up, she said curtly to the other.
gpt
Speak English.
human
I shall not answer you unless you speak English.
gpt
Come away! This is no place for you!
human
This is where my friends live,
gpt
Come away! I have a cab down-stairs.
human
Where to?
gpt
Back to Señora de Socotra.
human
And Señor Francisco? No, thank you.
gpt
Let me take you to a hotel, then.
human
In this? I have no other clothes.
gpt
Speak English!
human
Tell the Señora the truth, and she will leave Francisco.
gpt
And die of a broken heart, said Amy.
human
I'd rather kill Francisco.
gpt
But you cannot remain here among these people.
human
Remember, you are speaking of my friends, Amy warned him.
gpt
Answer me a question. How did you know you'd find me here?
human
I guessed it.
gpt
That's not enough. How did you guess it?
human
Well, Francisco asked me to spend the night in his apartment, so that the Señora would not be left alone. He had to be out late. Bianca telephoned from the sanitarium that you had been carried off. What was I to do? I didn't know where Francisco was. I dared not tell the Señora what had happened. Bianca said it was---- he jerked his head across the bed,
gpt
You knew then that they had put me in a private madhouse,
human
Perhaps you thought I was mad?
gpt
I did not. I told Francisco it was an outrage. Nothing I could say would move him. What was I to do?
human
What steps did you take to get me out?
gpt
Francisco swore to me that it was only for the night. As soon as he could arrange to get a private car, he said, he would send us all home together.
human
Why did Francisco put me in that place?
gpt
Surely you know that. He had learned that you were working against him in political matters. I warned you, you know.
human
You mean criminal matters,
gpt
Ask him how Señor Francisco learned of your activities.
human
How should I know?
gpt
Did you tell him?
human
I did not tell him! I swear it! You insult me by asking such a question!
gpt
What do you know?
human
He told him, right enough.
gpt
It's a lie! cried Señor Henry, turning a little yellower than his wont.
human
I might have known who put that idea into your head! Would you take the word of this--this cabman, against mine!
gpt
When could he have told him?
human
This afternoon when Señor Francisco started from the apartment for the train, he met Señor Saunders at the door. Señor Saunders entered the cab with him, and they started down-town together. He told him then. That is why Señor Francisco came rushing back in the state that you saw him.
gpt
It's a lie! a lie! he repeated.
human
I never saw Francisco until afterwards. How do you know so much about my movements!
gpt
I drove the cab,
