This is very important, he said gravely when she had finished.
gpt
What a pity you couldn't get her name!
human
Did I do wrong?
gpt
I suppose not. I understand your feelings, but--would you know her again?
human
Oh, yes, anywhere,
gpt
How old is she?
human
I will say thirty--that is absolutely fair.
gpt
You think she may be older?
human
I'm sure she isn't younger.
gpt
Is she pretty?
human
Oh, yes, very pretty, very animated and--_chic_.
gpt
Would you call her a lady?
human
Why--er--yes.
gpt
Aren't you sure?
human
It isn't that, but American ladies are--different.
gpt
Why do you think she is an American?
human
I'm sure she is. I can always tell American ladies; they wear more colors than French ladies, more embroideries, more things on their hats; I've often noticed it in church. I even know them by their shiny finger nails and their shrill voices.
gpt
Does she speak with an accent?
human
She speaks fluently, like a foreigner who has lived a long time in Paris, but she has a slight accent.
gpt
Ah! Now give me her message again. Are you sure you remember it exactly?
human
Quite sure. Besides, she made me write it down so as not to miss a word. Here it is, and, producing the torn page, she read:
gpt
She didn't say who this person is that she thought guilty last night?
human
No.
gpt
Did she say _why_ she thought him guilty or what changed her mind? Did she drop any hint? Try to remember.
human
No, she said nothing about that.
