Elaine, he blurted,
gpt
I don't know.
human
When will you know?
gpt
I have no idea!
human
But when shall I see you again?
gpt
I can't tell.
human
Elaine, please do put me out of my misery.
gpt
Very well then--I shan't see you again this week.
human
Elaine!
gpt
Yes.
human
Please.
gpt
Please what?
human
I _am_ sorry I bothered you; don't punish me. I promise not to ask any more questions, but please let me know when you come back. Even if you only ring me up on the telephone I shall have heard your voice!
gpt
Very well.
human
You're not angry with me, are you?
gpt
Why should I be?
human
I thought perhaps you were.
gpt
Is there anything amusing about being loved? she thought;
human
How tired you look! He had taken her hand and was pressing it with funny little jerky grasps.
gpt
I wish you belonged to me; I wouldn't let you spend yourself on every Tom, Dick and Harry.
human
It is so difficult to know, she murmured,
gpt
When I think of the way your divine sympathy is imposed upon--the way your friends take advantage of you!
human
But I like being taken advantage of.
gpt
People's selfishness makes me sick. Look at your white face and your drooping eyelids, and your tired little smiles.
human
I am sorry.
gpt
Sorry! Good God! My beloved, do take care of yourself, please. Promise me not to see any one after I leave; go to bed and pull the blinds.
human
But I am expecting Bill.
gpt
Bill will be all the better for not getting what he wants for once.
human
But supposing he doesn't want it?
gpt
I don't understand.
human
Bill!
gpt
Elaine!
human
Mortimer thinks I ought to go to bed and send you away.
gpt
But you won't?
human
Probably not. She was bubbling over with gaiety.
gpt
I am very weak-minded.
