I am really to blame, as much as anyone, he declared, when he had reached the point where Rosemary had confided in him about the missing ring and her determination to replace it.
gpt
I had no business to promise not to tell before I heard what I was not to tell. That's a fool stunt.
human

human

human

human
I find that keeping track of three girls isn't the easiest task in the world.
gpt
But we won't lose any more rings,
human
No, we won't lose any more rings, Hugh,
