So he wants to go ahead,
gpt
Apparently.
human
Can't he do that and still leave things as they are?
gpt
He seems to think he can't.
human
I don't see why. If I have to owe the money to any one, I'd rather owe it to Davenant.
gpt
So should I.
human
Do you really want to marry him?
gpt
Marry him? Who?
human
Well, I didn't mean Davenant. I didn't suppose there was any--
gpt
Papa, darling, she hastened to say,
human
Then why don't you tell him so?
gpt
I have; but he won't take that as a reason. And, besides, I've said I _would_ marry him if he'd give up this wild project--
human
But you're in love with him, aren't you? You may as well tell me, he continued, as she colored.
gpt
I must have _some_ data to go on.
human
I--I _was_ in love with him, she faltered.
gpt
I suppose I am still. But while everything is as it is, I--I--can't tell; I--I don't know. I'm--I'm feeling so many other things that I don't know whether I feel--feel love--or not. I dare say I do. But it's like asking a man if he's fond of playing a certain game when he thinks he's going to die.

About eleven, then, papa dear.
