Here, Sans-Cravate; I am happy, and I want you to be happy, too.
gpt
Ah! thanks, bourgeois. _Crédié!_ it's a pleasure to work for you; you're very free with your cash. I am always at your service--day or night--no matter what time; whenever you need me, I'll be ready. And if you should be short of the needful, I'd work for you all the same; because, you see, when I once get attached to people, it isn't just selfishness that makes me work for them--it's the heart--it's----
human
All right, my good fellow, thanks! Some day, perhaps, I shall put your zeal to the proof. Go and enjoy yourself. I must return to my friends.

human

gpt
No, not until to-morrow. So I can pass the evening, and the night too, with you. I am entirely at your service.
human
So much the better; we will have a hot game.
gpt
I shall win, for I am in a lucky vein.
human
That's not certain; lucky in love doesn't mean lucky at cards; the proverb says just the opposite.
gpt
For my part, I believe that luck in one brings luck in the other. So look out for yourselves to-night.

I think that the time has come----
human
To put us to sleep?
gpt
No; but to tell you about that extraordinary occurrence that I started to tell you a moment ago.
human
I say, messieurs, said Mouillot;

Oh! messieurs, I am sure that the anecdote won't seem long to you; it's too interesting for that.--A young woman had a husband, who was travelling----
