What will you have?
gpt
Anything--nothing; I don't care,
human
Oh, how beautiful that is!
gpt
Are you warm enough? he asked. He said to himself, with a sigh of relief, that evidently she had dropped the dangerous subject of the hospital.

There is a chill in these October evenings as the sun goes down,
gpt
Yes.

Elizabeth, he burst out,
gpt
I don't want anything.
human
I love you. I suppose you wouldn't believe me if I should try to tell you how I love you--and yet you don't give me a decent word once a month!
