Here, my friend, he said,
gpt
But this is too much, monsieur; I was paid beforehand--I do not want any more; I am so happy to have been useful to you.
human
Come, come! accept it as a favor to me; you will grieve me if you refuse. Take the money to your mother, so that she too may be happy to-day.
gpt
By the way, my friend, where is your stand?
human
Rue du Helder, monsieur, at the corner of the boulevard. Monsieur your son knows me very well.
gpt
Are you his regular messenger?
human
No, monsieur; but my comrade Sans-Cravate is; his stand is--not far from mine.
gpt
That is true, said Albert;
human
Well, continued Monsieur Vermoncey,
gpt
Paul, monsieur.
human
Very well, Paul, you understand, you are to be my messenger. You are not sorry, I trust, are you?
gpt
Far from it, monsieur; and I will do all that I can to deserve your confidence.
human
I am sure of it, my friend; and now--au revoir!
