You are pleased once more to be here?
gpt
I am. During my illness I promised myself if ever I recovered that my first visit should be to this spot.
human
And yet it was in paying such a visit that you nearly lost your life.
gpt
The life you saved.
human
What were you doing there?
gpt
Like the blind mortal that I am, I was blaming myself, and my fate, too, when I should have been blessing my fortune.
human
For what?
gpt
For conducting me to the spot where I heard you cry.
human
What fortune were you blaming?
gpt
That which made me unworthy.
human
Unworthy of what?
gpt
Do you really wish to know of what I think myself unworthy?
human
If you betray no confidence in telling me.
gpt
None; none but my own.
human
Then, tell me if you like.
gpt
Unworthy of _you_!
human
Of me?
gpt
Of you, and you only. But why should I withhold further confidence? You have given me courage to speak; have I also your leave?
human
I thought on that day, he continued,
gpt
But now?
human
Now--all rests upon one word. Upon that word depends my happiness or misery now and for ever.
gpt
And what is it?
human
Do not ask it from me. It must come from your eyes--from your lips-- from your heart!
