Is it a conundrum? asked Clover.
gpt
I can give a guess, if you like.
human
Thank you; you’re always so kind, dear. Come, and go up in the Ferris Wheel with me, Clover. If you will, that will decide me.
gpt
I couldn’t, really. I’m glad I have been. One must go, of course; but twice, no, I couldn’t. Clover passed near Jack, who threw an imploring glance at her behind his paper.

gpt

human
A very poor recommendation, I should think,
gpt
Oh, Jack, Clover laughed,
