This man Alden must be sacrificed.
gpt
No, no! Mannis, no bloodshed for me!
human
Bloodshed? Nonsense! no one said bloodshed. He is in your bank, surrounded by temptation. Place a trap for him, do you understand? Your daughter is too honorable and high-minded to associate with a rascal.
gpt
Yes, I see, thoughtfully answered the Senator.
human
I declare, Mannis, you are full of expedients. Yes, he shall be entrapped, for I am justified in saving my daughter.
gpt
Treat her kindly and do not be harsh with Alden; but work up a trap for him. Haven't you a clerk in the bank you can enlist to help you?
human
Let me see. I have it! The cashier, Wilber, can live but a short time and Alden will be his successor. Sargent, who published that ugly paper about me, is promised Alden's present place. Yes; he is my man, and I will use him.
