Will you not sing?
gpt
What shall I sing, Mr. Belward?
human
The song I taught you the other day--'The Waking of the Fire.'
gpt
But I've never sung it before anybody.
human
Do I not count?--But, there, that's unfair! Believe me, you sing it very well.
gpt
You do not pay compliments, and I believe you. Your 'very well' means much. If you say so, I will do my best.
human
I say so. You are amenable. Is that your mood to-night?
gpt
I am not at all sure. It depends on how your command to sing is justified.
human
You cannot help but sing well.
gpt
Why?
human
Because I will help you--make you.
