That's the worst of walking, David said, as she let him draw her down on the sofa beside him;
gpt
I can't kiss you on the street.
human
Heavens, I should hope not! she said. Then, forgetting what she thought was his forgetfulness, she relaxed within his arms, sighing with bliss.
gpt
she hummed softly.
human
I do love to have you put your arms around me, David! Isn't it wonderful to love each other the way we do? I feel so sorry for other girls, because they aren't engaged to you; poor things! Do you suppose anybody in the world was ever as happy as I am?

gpt

human

gpt
It's hideously long. Oh, if I were only a rich girl!
human
Thank Heaven you are not! he said, with such sudden cold incisiveness that she turned round and looked at him.
gpt

gpt
I don't see that it matters which has the money, the man or the girl.
human

gpt
I've always felt that way--even about mother. Materna has wanted to help me out lots of times, and I wouldn't let her. I could kick myself now when I think how often I have to put my hand in her pocket.
human
I think, cried Elizabeth,
gpt
I don't,
human
Well, said Elizabeth,
gpt
I like sitting here best, David confessed, but pulled himself up from the sofa, and in another minute Miss White, peering from an upper window, saw them walking off.
human
Made for each other!
