Croft felt flabbergasted about such words. She spoke such nonsense about him not meaning what he said. What did being human have anything to do with this? He simply could not understand. "My dear, if I did not mean anything I said I would not speak. What madness lies with falsehood! Should I not want to reveal something I simply keep my mouth shut 'tis as simple as that."

Human. Human. That really bothered him. He sat down to puzzle over his thoughts a moment. "Why do you ask if I am human or not? I most certainly am, but what does that have to do with anything. Puzzling... simply puzzling." He scratched his chin with one hand and fiddled around with his umbrella with the other as he fell into thought, losing track of all the world around him.
