Well, he explained,
gpt
Mr. Mappin,
human
Let me get through. You shall have all you want: a house in Montreal or Toronto, as you like, smart friends and position--guess if I set my mind on it I can get them. In fact, you shall have what you wish--you'll only need to ask for it. I want my wife to take a leading place, and I'll see she gets there.
gpt
I'm sorry, but it's impossible for me to marry you,
human
You look as if you meant it.
gpt
I do. Geraldine tried hard to preserve her calm.
human
Please understand that my mind is made up.
gpt
Oh, he replied tolerantly,
human
I didn't expect to get you first try. Guess I'll have to wait until you get used to the idea.
gpt
I shall never get used to it!
human
Never is a mighty long time; you have got to yield sooner or later. I can make you!
gpt
Wait a bit, he said with a harsh laugh.
human
Now, what's the matter with me?
gpt
I think I need only say that you're very far from being the kind of man I could marry. Let me pass!
human
Well, he said,
gpt
I know my value. I'll stand comparison with that finicking Englishman!
human
You'll never get him! Count on that; I'll break the fellow!
