I saw, he said.
gpt
But will you tell me this?... I've got to know. Who was it? Was Cantor--
human
Cantor? What did he know about Cantor? Had he discovered something about the man that she herself had been unable to discover? Had he definitely placed Cantor as a German spy, a master of spies?... If so, he must know about her father, too.
gpt

human
What do you know about Mr. Cantor?
gpt
Nothing. But I must know. Was it he?
human
I can tell you nothing about him, she said.
gpt
But I can warn you. Don't trust him. If you have anything you value, keep it out of his hands. Don't let him near your motor.... Keep him away from you.... Don't trust that man.
human
You've answered me, he said, in a stifled voice.... So it was Cantor. The man to whom he owed this agony was Cantor.... He ground his teeth. Then he grew gentle with her.
gpt
Remember, Hildegarde, that I love you. It isn't a little love that would be afraid of anything. Nothing would matter to it. Will you remember that, and if ever you change--if anything changes you--will you know that I'm waiting for you?
human
Let me out, please, he said.
gpt
I--I can't stay near you.... It's too much for me.
human
Good-by, Potter, she said, softly.
gpt
I-- Oh, how I wish I might come to you!
human
Cantor, he said to himself, and whispered the name over and over.
gpt
Cantor.... Cantor.... Cantor....
