Do you play tennis?
gpt
Yes.
human
Ah, so do I, and well, too, though I'm not English. Lord Lane will tell you that. And you dance, I know.
gpt
Yes.
human
You love it? I do.
gpt
I used to.
human
That sounds as if you were a hundred, instead of--nineteen, is it not?
gpt
I'm not quite ninety-nine.
human
I should like to dance with you. We are the right size for each other in the dance, are we not?
gpt
I'd try not to disappoint you.
human
Oh, we must have a dance. You love music, I know. One sees it by your eyes. Once, when I asked Lord Lane if he sang or played, he said that he 'had no drawing-room tricks.' Rude of him, _n'est-ce pas_? But you? Is it that you play?
gpt
The violin will talk for me, if I coax it.
human
Ah, I was sure. We are going to be congenial. But the singing? I see by your face that you sing, though you won't say so. Here is a piano. I will accompany you, if you like, and if we know the same things. Perhaps our voices would be well together.
gpt
I will sing if you like; but I accompany myself, always, he said.
human
I don't sing things that many people know.
