How well you dance,
gpt
Do I? She spoke with a slightly foreign accent, which gave a little prettiness to her speech.
human
I was never told so. But nobody ever told me anything about myself.
gpt
I should like to tell you everything about yourself, from the beginning to the end.
human
Ah,--but you don't know.
gpt
I would find out. I think I could make some good guesses. I'll tell you what you would like best in all the world.
human
What is that?
gpt
Somebody that liked you best in all the world.
human
Ah,--yes; if one knew who?
gpt
How can you know, Miss Melmotte, but by believing?
human
That is not the way to know. If a girl told me that she liked me better than any other girl, I should not know it, just because she said so. I should have to find it out.
gpt
And if a gentleman told you so?
human
I shouldn't believe him a bit, and I should not care to find out. But I should like to have some girl for a friend whom I could love, oh, ten times better than myself.
gpt
So should I.
human
Have you no particular friend?
gpt
I mean a girl whom I could love,--oh, ten times better than myself.
human
Now you are laughing at me, Sir Felix,
gpt
I wonder whether that will come to anything?
