Women are queer ships, he said,
gpt
Revoking?
human
That's the word. You're in this deal on a jealousy outfit and we're not after any renunciation, splendid sacrifice and that gear. We want you dead hard and seemed to me to get that I might do well to tie you up a bit closer to the cause.
gpt
What do you suggest?
human
You're an ambitious woman.
gpt
I suppose so.
human
I suggest this child.
gpt
I don't see----
human
This child thrown in as a sweetener.
gpt
Are you making a proposal of marriage?
human
I sure am.
gpt
Oh!
human

gpt
I guessed there was something doing,
human
It's all fixed then.
gpt
I suppose so.
human
Say I don't want you to think I'm only doing this out of expediency.
gpt

human
Not altogether.
gpt
Better and better,

I'm a hell of a tonic,
