If you'll take me as a pupil, she said,
gpt
I'd like to begin immediately.
human
Let me try your voice, he proposed. He went to the piano, and there his manner had soon changed. From genial and curious it grew interested. He spoke rather sharply, asking her to do this and that, and she felt as though she were being probed.
gpt
You have a voice, he said, at the end.
human
Not a world shaker, he added, smiling,
gpt
You'll take me, then?
human
Assuredly.
gpt
Oh, that's so nice. They decided on the time for her lessons. Then she glanced at her wrist watch.
human
Will you see if my car is waiting! she asked.
gpt
I had him take the nurse and baby up to the Park--and he ought to be back by now, I think. But as Dwight went to the telephone, she added excitedly to herself,
human
Now if that idiot of a chauffeur is as late as I told him to be, you and I will have quite a talk, Mr. Dwight.
gpt
It isn't here yet,
human
Oh, I'm so sorry. I'll have to walk. She smiled and held out her hand to him.
gpt
Will you send the chauffeur home!
human
If you like, he replied good-humouredly.
gpt
But I'd much rather you'd wait here--if you have nothing pressing. And as she hesitated,
human
It's not only your voice, you know--I used to be quite a friend of Joe's.
gpt
Oh, yes, I remember his telling me. Over in Paris, wasn't it?
human
I've wanted to go to Paris all my life, she told him.
gpt
How long is it since you left?
human
Only a year.
gpt
Is there a Paris in New York?
human
I'm not sure yet--I'm new, you see.
gpt
So am I, she confided frankly. And at that he gave her a swift glance which made Ethel add to herself,
human
Yes, he could be very personal.
