I am not quite sure why I care, he answered,
gpt

human
You probably felt sorry for me as soon as you saw me, she continued, leaning back in her chair and speaking almost coldly.
gpt
I am an object of pity, of course!
human
No, he answered.
gpt
I had not thought of you in that light. I liked you, the first time I saw you. That is much simpler than pitying.
human
You treat me like a child, Sabina said with a little petulance.
gpt
You have no right to!
human
Shall I treat you like a woman, Donna Sabina?
gpt
Yes. I am sure I am old enough.
human
If you were not, I should certainly not feel as I do towards you.
gpt
What do you mean?
human
If you are a woman, you probably guess.
gpt
No.
human
You may be offended,
gpt
Not unless you are rude--or pity me.
human
Is it very rude to like a person? he asked.
gpt
If you think it is, I will not go on.
human
I am not sure,
gpt
In that case it is wiser not to run the risk of offending you past forgiveness!
