That is really not bad, he said;
gpt
Oh sweetheart, I love you!
human
I really cannot stand such remarks, said the Bicycle-man.
gpt
They make me both angry and confused.
human
Why do you trouble about him? said the Little China Doll.
gpt
He is not worth it. A penny Toy, indeed! You turn his head. Take no more notice of him.
human
I won't,
gpt
You are getting rude now, he said.
human
I am not sure whether that is not worse than being forward.
gpt
What shall I say? asked the Little Dancer.
human
My words do not please you.
gpt
I should not be displeased if you were to say 'good-day', he replied.
human
It would only be polite, and I never find fault with politeness.
gpt
Good-day,
human
Is that all?
gpt
That is all,
human
I have a bit of news for you, he said.
gpt
I am thinking of marrying the doll to whom the Red House belongs. It is a comfortable house, well built, and well appointed. You shall come and have tea with us.
human
Why are you crying?
gpt
Dear heart, Oh dear heart, I love you!
human
Well, well, so do many others, he answered.
gpt
It isn't my fault
human
Don't you see you are making him terribly conceited? said the Little China Doll.
gpt
It is absurd of you. Try to be more sensible.
human
I love him so, I love him so! sobbed the Little Dancer.
gpt
My heart is broken.
human
It is all settled, he said.
gpt
I hope to marry the doll to whom the Red House belongs, before the week is out. I fear my marriage will be a disappointment to many a lady.
human
Are you not going to wish me happiness?
