My sister and I, she said slowly,
gpt
Sort of man who can see no further than his nose, he remarked contemptuously.
human
Fearful old fogey! I can't imagine any sister of yours putting up with him for a moment. I thought perhaps you were staying with them, as you did not seem particularly anxious to recognize your old friends.

human

gpt
Those things are not for me just at present.
human
Come, he said,
gpt
May I ask whether you are staying with friends in town? he inquired deferentially.
human

human
