Oh, don't look. Please, _please_ don't look at that photograph!
gpt
Of course I won't, I answered, slightly hurt.
human
What do you take me for?
gpt
I know you wouldn't mean to, she answered.
human
But you might glance involuntarily. You _didn't_ see it, did you?
gpt
Would it be so very dreadful if I did?
human
Yes, dreadful, she echoed solemnly.
gpt
Don't joke. Do please tell me, one way or the other, if you saw what was in the picture?
human
You may set your mind at ease. If it were to save my life, I couldn't tell whether the photograph was of man, woman, boy, girl, or beast; and now I'm holding it face downward.
gpt
Good! she exclaimed.

I'm coming to claim my property, and to look at your new acquisitions. I've been criticising them from the window, and I congratulate you.
