Well, it's rather a secret.
gpt
It's about the Nutcracker.
human
The Nutcracker!
gpt
Yes. She moved a little, and looked at the chair not far from the fire on which she had sat when first she came into the room.
human
I care rather for boxing. Now --she went slowly toward the chair, followed by Heath,
gpt
--she sat down, and leaned her chin on her upturned palm--
human
Conky Jarky Joe! I thought I was _dans le mouvement_ up to my dog-collar, but I know nothing about the phenomenon. Where does it belong to?
gpt
Wonderland,
human
That's the land I've never seen, although I've had the yacht for so many years.
gpt
Nor I! said Paul Lane.
human
I don't believe it exists, or we must have been there. We have both been everywhere.
gpt
Tell the poor things about it, said Mrs. Mansfield.
human
Then Adelaide can get up steam on _The Wanderer_ and realize her dreams.
gpt
But Mr. Elliot told me he met you there, and I remember distinctly his saying the fight was on between those two pets of the ring,
human
Yes, but I'm sure he didn't tell you I was an authority on boxing form.
gpt
You aren't?
human
No, indeed!
gpt
But you want to be?
human
I shouldn't mind. But it isn't my chief aim in life.
gpt
It isn't _that_, then?
human
That--what?
gpt
That you want. It's something else. Because you know you want a very, very great deal of something.
human
Oh, a good many of us do, I suppose.
gpt
I don't think I do. I'm quite satisfied with my life. I have a good mother, a comfortable home. What should a properly-brought-up English girl, who has been educated at Brighton, want more?
human
I'm very glad indeed to know that a Brighton education stands its receiver in such good stead in the after years, very glad indeed!
gpt
You are laughing at me. And that's unchristian.
human
Oh, but--but you were laughing at me!
