Something is dreadfully wrong, he said;
gpt
I know it. It _was_ born. Oh, I know it. I _know_ it, and I could not help it--somehow--somehow----
human
It--it was almost like--like--love at first sight,
gpt
It was--something like it--I am afraid----
human
Do you think it _was_ love?
gpt
I don't know. . . . Do you?
human
I don't know. . . . You mustn't cry. Put your head down--here. You mustn't be distressed.
gpt
I am, dreadfully.
human
You mustn't be.
gpt
I can't help it--now.
human
Could you help it if you--loved me?
gpt
Oh, no! Oh, no! It would distress me beyond measure to--to love you. Oh, it must not be--it must not happen to me----
human
It is already happening to _me_.
gpt
Don't let it! Don't let it happen to either of us! Please--please----
human
But--it _is_ happening all the while, Amourette.
gpt
Is _that_ what it is that is happening to me, too, Mr. Sayre?
human
Yes. I think so.
gpt
Oh, oh, _oh_!
human
Amourette! Darling! Dea----
gpt
L-listen. Because now I've got to tell you all about the disappearance of those perfectly horrid young specimens of physical perfection. And after that you will abhor me!
human
Abhor _you_! Dearest--dearest and most divine of women!
gpt
Wait! she sobbed.
human
I've got myself and you into the most awful scrape you ever dreamed of by falling in love with you at first sight!
