I don't see him,
gpt
Sir, he said, with a kind of slow heat,
human
I am at a loss as to what to attribute your tone and manner. If you doubt--
gpt
Not at all, my dear sir, replied Carroll, with a wave of the hand.
human
But I am told that my son is in here, and when, on entering, I do not see him, I am naturally somewhat surprised.
gpt
Your son was certainly in this room when I left it a moment ago, and that is all I know about it, said Anderson.
human
And I will add that your son's visit was entirely unsolicited--
gpt
My dear sir, interrupted Carroll again,
human
I assure you that I do not for a moment conceive the possibility of anything else. But the fact remains that I am told he is here--
gpt
He was here,
human
He could not have gone out through the store while we were there,
gpt
I do not see how he could have done so unobserved, certainly.
human
The window,
gpt
Thirty feet from the ground; sheer wall and rocks below. He could not have gone out there without wings.
human
He has no wings, and I very much fear he never will have any at this rate, said Carroll, moving out.
gpt
Well, Mr. Anderson, I regret that my son should have annoyed you.
human
He has not annoyed me in the least, Anderson replied, shortly.
gpt
I only regret that his peculiar method of telling the truth should have led me unwittingly to occasion your wife and daughters so much anxiety, and I trust that you will soon trace him.
human
Oh yes, he will turn up all right, said Carroll, easily.
gpt
If he was in your office a moment ago, he cannot be far off.
