They've been gossiping about you finely at the Hague. First about your pamphlet ... and then about your painter.

You can look just as angry as ever.... Tell me, do you ever hear from the old people? They're in a bad way.
human
Now and then. I was able to send them some money lately.
gpt
That's damned good of you. They don't deserve it. They said that you no longer existed for them.
human
Mamma wrote that they were so pushed for money. Then I sent them a hundred guilders. It was the most that I could do.
gpt
Oh, now that they find you sending them money, you'll begin to exist for them again!
human
I don't mind that. I was sorry for them ... and sorry I couldn't send more.
gpt
Ah, when you look so thundering smart....
human
I don't pay for my clothes.
gpt
I'm only stating a fact. I'm not venturing to criticize. I think it damned handsome of you to send them money. But you do look thundering smart.... Look here, let me tell you something: you've become a damned handsome girl.
