Why--yes. Joan's eyes opened wide in alarm.

Have I done wrong? He said, send for her.
human
You sure done dead right. The Padre said it.
gpt
Then what was the meaning in your--what you said?
human
Nothing--just nothing.
gpt
Oh, Buck, she cried,
human
Popular? I--I don't get you.
gpt
You wouldn't, she hastened on.
human
You could never understand such wicked meanness as that man is capable of. I'm sure he hates me, and only told me these--these things to make me miserable. And I was feeling so happy, too, after seeing your Padre,
gpt
An' what are the things he's been sayin'?
human
Oh, I can't tell you what he said, except--except that the men think I'm responsible for the death of those two. The other things were too awful. It seems I'm--I'm the talk of the camp in--in an awful way. He says they hate me. But I believe it's simply him. You see, he's tried to--to ingratiate himself with me--oh, it's some time back, and I--well, I never could stand him, after that time when the boys gave me the gold. I wish they had never given me that gold. He still persists it's unlucky, and I--I'm beginning to think so, too.

Did he--insult you?
