I wonder whether you understand my life at all,
gpt
I am not sure that I do. It is a strange life, in some ways--like yourself.
human
Am I strange?
gpt
Very.
human
What makes you think so?
gpt
Do you like compliments?
human
That depends upon whether I consider them compliments or not,
gpt
You are a very perfect woman in very imperfect surroundings,
human
That is not a compliment to the surroundings, at all events. I do not know whether to laugh or not. Shall I?
gpt
If you will. I like to hear you laugh.
human
You should hear me cry!
gpt
God forbid!
human
I do sometimes,
gpt
I am sorry you have told me so, he said.
human
I do not like to think of it. Why should you cry? What have you to cry for?
gpt
What should you think?
human
I cannot guess. Tell me. Is it because you still wish to be a singer? Is that it?
gpt
No. That is not it.
human
Then I cannot guess. He looked for the answer in her face.
gpt
Will you tell me?
human
Of what use could it be? Her eyes met his for a moment, the lids fell, and she turned away.
gpt
Will you shut the window? she said suddenly.
human
The wind blows the things about. Besides, it is getting late.
