Well, are you tired? asked Delesof, approaching him. Albert replied with a smile.
gpt
You have creative talent; you ought seriously to devote yourself to music, to play in public.
human
I should like to have something to drink,
gpt
What splendid wine!
human
What a lovely thing that _Melancholie_ is!
gpt
Oh, yes, yes, replied Albert with a smile.
human
But pardon me, I do not know with whom I have the honor to be talking; maybe you are a count or a prince. Couldn't you let me have a little money? He paused for a moment.
gpt
I have nothing--I am a poor man: I couldn't pay it back to you.
human
Very much obliged to you, said Albert, seizing the money.
gpt
Now let us have some more music; I will play for you as much as you wish. Only let me have something to drink, something to drink,
human
Pardon me if I am frank with you, said Delesof.
gpt
Your talent has interested me so much. It seems to me that you are in a wretched position.
human
Permit me to help you, continued Delesof.
gpt
If you need any thing, then I should be very glad if you would come and stay with me for a while. I live alone, and maybe I could be of some service to you.
human
Why don't you thank him? said the hostess.
gpt
It seems to me that this would be a capital thing for you.--Only I would not advise you,
human
Very much obliged to you, said Albert, seizing Delesof's hand with both his moist ones.
gpt
Only now let us have some music, please.
