Well, he said, at last,
gpt
I am so miserable here, I'll go, if only you will go with me.
human

gpt

human
I don't care if she does;
gpt
I know what she wants me to do, he said, whining most dolefully.
human
She wants me to go after that horrid old Grimes. I don't like him, that's certain. And if I find him, he will turn me into a chimney-sweep again, I know. That's what I have been afraid of all along.
gpt
No, he won't--I know as much as that. Nobody can turn water babies into sweeps, or hurt them at all, as long as they are good.
human
Ah, said naughty Tom,
gpt
I see what you want; you are persuading me all along to go, because you are tired of me, and want to get rid of me.
human
Oh, Tom, Tom! she said, very mournfully--and then she cried,
gpt
Oh, Tom, where are you?
human
Oh, Ellie, where are you?
