What about yourself?
gpt
Why, I look for work all day.
human
But at night?
gpt
Pooh! said Lolly,
human
Got one already, have you?
gpt
No, indeed,
human
Then why don't you get one?
gpt
You talk, I said,
human
So they are, as far as that goes, said Lolly.
gpt
You just go down the avenue some night and see for yourself.
human
If you mean make up to a strange man, I wouldn't do a thing like that, would you?
gpt
Oh, yes, said Lolly,
human
--she used swear-words just like a man--
gpt

human

gpt
Pooh! said Lolly,
human
Lord knows I was brought up by book rule. I was the bell of D----, but now I'm just a working-girl. I've come down to brass tacks. What a fool I'd be to follow all the conventional laws that used to bind me. Then, too, I'm a Bohemian. Ever hear of that word?
gpt
Well, said Lolly,
human
I'm the bona-fide Bohemian article. My family think I'm the limit. What do you think?
gpt
I think you are trying to shock me,
human
Well, have I?
gpt
No, not a bit.
human
Then you're the only girl in the house I haven't, she said with relish.
gpt
You know, I'm in pretty bad here, a sore spot in the body politic. Out I'd go this blessed minute if it wasn't for the fact that they're all afraid of me--afraid I'll show 'em up scorchingly.
human
Would you do that?
gpt
Watch me!
