And how about that girl?
gpt
What girl?
human
Angelica White?
gpt
Well, said I,
human
Does she go with the lake or with the fish?
gpt
What do you mean?
human
I mean, which of us gets the first chance to win her? he said, blushing.
gpt
There's no use denying that we both have been bowled over by her; is there?
human
She is an extremely intelligent girl,
gpt
Yes, and then some.
human
Possibly I am in error, but at moments it has seemed to me that my marked attentions to Miss White are not wholly displeasing to her. I may be mistaken--
gpt
I think you are, Smith.
human
Why?
gpt
Because--well, because I seem to think so.
human
Because she happened to faint away in your arms last night is no symptom that she prefers you. Is it?
gpt
No.
human
Then why do you seem to think that tactful, delicate, and assiduous attentions on my part may prove not entirely unwelcome to this unusually intelligent--
gpt
Smith!
human
What?
gpt
Miss White is not only a trained nurse, but she also is about to receive her diploma as a physician.
human
How do you know?
gpt
She told me.
human
When?
gpt
When you were building the fire last night. Also, she informed me that she had relentlessly dedicated herself to a eugenic marriage.
human
When did she tell you _that_?
gpt
While you were bringing in a bucket of water from the lake last night. And furthermore, she told me that _I_ was perfectly suited for a eugenic marriage.
human
When she had--fainted--in my arms.
gpt
How the devil did she come to say a thing like that?
human
Well, I had just told her that I had fallen in love with her--
gpt
Damn!
