Let me go, Bastringuette, let me go! he said;
gpt
I am in a great hurry; I have some errands to do.
human
In a hurry, are you? I say! you didn't seem to be a minute ago, for you've been having a nice little chin with the little dressmaker. She plays a pretty game with her mouth, she does. You seem to have had lots of things to tell her, flatterer!
gpt
It's just because I have been talking so long that I am behindhand. By the way, Bastringuette, Sans-Cravate expects you to sup with him to-night at his wine shop on Rue Saint-Lazare. He means to treat everybody.
human
Shall you be in the crowd?
gpt
Why--perhaps so.
human
I want you to be--if not, I won't go. Monster! who knows that I love him, that I am cracked over his shape, and still he won't honor me with a look, while he talks yards at a time with little hussies of dressmakers!
gpt
I am not in the habit of making eyes at my friends' mistresses, Bastringuette; and Sans-Cravate is my friend.
human
I don't care a hang; I haven't sworn to love the same man and no one else all my life. That would be too monotonous; it's all right for the swells to take that kind of oaths and then break 'em. I prefer to act on the square, and I wouldn't hesitate to say before Sans-Cravate that I am stuck on you.
gpt
You are mad. Let me go, I insist!
