Is the whole world lying heavy on your shoulders to-night, Red?
gpt
The whole world--millions of tons of it. It's just because I'm tired. There's no real reason why I should take this day's work harder than usual--except that I lost the Anderson case this morning. Poor start for the day, eh?
human
But you knew you must lose it. Nobody could have saved that poor creature.
gpt
I suppose not. But I wanted to save him just the same. You see, he particularly wanted to live, and he had pinned his whole faith to me. He wouldn't give it up that I could do the miracle. It hurts to disappoint a faith like that.
human
Of course it does, she said gently.
gpt
But you must try to forget now, Red, because of to-morrow. There will be people to-morrow who need you as much as he did.
human
That's just what I'd like to forget, he murmured.

Everything's gone wrong to-day--it'll go worse to-morrow.
