Tell me, I said,
gpt
Well, dear father, he suddenly says to me (this took place toward nightfall),
human
How is that?
gpt
In this way.... And thereupon Yákoff raised his eyes to mine for the first time.--
human
It is going on four months now,
gpt
What about the fourth month? Tell me, do not make me suffer!
human
This is the fourth month that I have been seeing him.
gpt
Him? Who is he?
human
Why, the person ... whom it is awkward to mention at night.
gpt
What?! I said,
human
Yes.
gpt
And dost thou see him now?
human
Yes.
gpt
Where?
human
Why, yonder ... and he indicated the spot with his eyes ...
gpt
Why, good gracious, there is nothing there, Yákoff!
human
What does he look like? I said....
gpt
Is he green?
human
No, he is not green, but black.
gpt
Has he horns?
human
No, he is like a man,--only all black.
