I tell you what it is, Morgan, your conduct, from first to last, has been bad.
gpt
Has it? That's good, coming from you.
human
That's where you've got the wrong end of the stick; whatever I've done I've done nothing to you.
gpt
No; and therefore you think that I've no right to put a finger in the pie you've found.
human
You'd no right to force yourself into my place, and run the rule over my things.
gpt
That was luck, Nash, pure luck. I didn't call intending to run the rule over your things; is it likely? But if you will carry papers in your letter-case, you shouldn't leave your letter-case lying about.
human
Idiot that I was! I found what I'd done soon after I'd started, but I was fool enough not to come back for it.
gpt
You weren't an idiot; not at all; it was the best thing that could have happened for both of us--that I should find it.
human
I'm afraid I can't agree. To begin with, see how awkward you've made it for me with my wife.
gpt
Have I?
human
She can't understand what I have done which gives you any title to call yourself my friend--you!
gpt
Can't she?
human
And how am I going to explain? I may only be--as you suggest--a poor brute of a country solicitor; but you forget that she's a lady.
