You haven't asked me anything about Miss Treville, Smiles.
gpt
I didn't mean to be so forgetful, doctor, and I'm plumb ashamed. I should be pleased to have you tell me all about her.
human
Why, I don't know as there is much to tell, he replied, a little nonplussed by the unexpectedness of the implied question.
gpt
Of course she is very nice and very lovely, as I wrote you.
human
What does she look like?
gpt
I am afraid that I cannot hope to give a very accurate description of her, Rose. It would perhaps be easier if you had ever visited an art museum, and seen statues of some of the Greek goddesses, for people say that she looks like one of them. You see she is quite tall for a woman--almost as tall as I am myself--and ... well, her form and the way she carries herself is queenly. Then she has hair darker than yours, and ... her eyes are gray, I guess, although, come to think of it, I never noticed particularly. She isn't pretty like a wild-flower, but very beautiful, more like a stately cultivated bloom. When you have seen conservatory blossoms you will know better what I mean. She is very serious, too. Even when she is quite happy it is sometimes a bit hard to tell it, for she seldom really smiles.... I wish she would, he added, as though to himself,

You see, I have known Marion all her life. She is my sister's closest friend, and almost grew up in our house.
human
I wish I had, said Rose, the note of envy in her voice being outweighed by the childlike sincerity which her words carried.
gpt
What does she do?
human
Do? Why, I don't know, exactly--what all society girls, with plenty of money at their disposal, do, I suppose. Of course she has clubs which she belongs to, and she goes to dances and theatres and ... I think she is interested in some sort of charity, too.
