Will you tell me if I am heading you into danger?
gpt
What danger is possible? I answered.
human
There are no Saxons here yet.
gpt
Not one? she said meaningly.
human
I may be wrong--it does seem unlikely but I think you do not belong to us. Your speech is not like ours altogether, and your helm is gold encircled, as if you were a king.
gpt
Lady, I said,
human
Now I know that you are not. Oh, how shall I thank you for this?
gpt
Is it possible that you are Alfred of Wessex? It were like what they say of him to do as you have done for a friendless maiden.
human
Lady, I said,
gpt
I am not King Alfred, nor would I be. Come, let us hasten.
human
I will take you no further, she said then.
gpt
Now I am sure that you are of the Northmen that were seen with the Saxons. You are not of us, and I shall lose you your life.
