You will be Ruth, and I Boaz,
gpt
What an unlucky comparison,
human
Ruth left her people and her home, to go amongst strangers, and earn her living as a gleaner.
gpt
But she found a devoted husband in the end,
human
Peace and happiness also, I hope, sighed Bella.
gpt
I have plenty of peace, but very little happiness, save of the vegetable sort.

When we are married, began Lister, then stopped short, biting his moustache--
gpt
That is obvious, since we love one another, she said somewhat tartly, for his hesitation annoyed her.
human
Why did you change the conclusion of your sentence?

She paused, and it flashed across her brain that her father and her lover would scarcely suit one another. Both were strong-willed and both masterful. She wondered if they met, who would come out top-dog; so she phrased it in her quick brain. Then abruptly she added, before Cyril could speak.
human
Be quiet for a few minutes. I wish to think.
