Fox, said Sally, after five minutes of this,
gpt
Does the spirit move you to talk now?
human
I think so. The little rest has done me good. And I should like to have your advice.
gpt
What happened after I left you last night?
human
Nothing in particular, she answered.
gpt

human
This is the council of war, she added, smiling somewhat wearily,
gpt

human
No, none of consequence. I am afraid he would. If--if he went into the office with me now, I could keep an eye on him. That is, she amended rather hopelessly,

gpt

human
Perhaps, but I'm not so sure. Very likely it is my fault. At any rate, it can't be helped. That's the way it's gone.
