Supper is ready? That's right!
gpt
Doesn't the table look pretty, Alston, with Mr. Crayford's white heather?
human
I am going to put your roses in water now.
gpt
Could I have some water put in that vase, please? And we'll have supper at once.
human
Certainly, ma'am!
gpt
Come and see the menu, both of you, and tell me if you are satisfied with it.
human
And then show it to Claude while I take off my cloak.
gpt
Alston, this has been my first chance to congratulate you without a lot of people round us, or--really to tell you, I mean, how fine your performance was. There is no doubt that you are a made man from to-night. I am glad for you. You've worked splendidly, and you deserve this great success.
human
Thank you, Claude. But I only got my chance through you and Mrs. Charmian. If you hadn't composed a splendid opera, I couldn't have scored in it.
gpt
You would have scored in something else. You are going to.
human
I shall never enjoy singing any rôle so much as I have enjoyed singing your Spahi.
gpt
I don't see how you are ever going to sing any rôle better,
human
You've put your coats in the lobby? That's right. Oh, here is supper! Caviare first! I'll sit here. Oh, Alston, what a comfort to be quietly here with just you and Claude after all the excitement!
gpt
But I'm wonderfully little tired! she continued.
human
It all went so splendidly, without a single hitch. Mr. Crayford must be enchanted. I only saw him for a moment coming out after I had congratulated Miss Mardon. There were so many people. There was no time to hear all he thought. But there could not be two opinions. Claudie, do you feel quite finished?
gpt
No,
