You have had your lessons from a good musician.
gpt
Yes, madame, our friend plays beautifully on the harp.
human
On the harp! And you say her name is--
gpt
Madame Joseph Carpentier.
human
It is strange, said Madame de la Houssaye.
gpt
The words of your duet are by me, and the music by my friend the Viscomptesse Alix de Morainville. All manner of things have happened in this terrible Revolution; I had for a moment the hope that she had found chance to emigrate and that you had met her. Do you know M. Carpentier?
human
Yes, madame; he was with her. He is--in fact--a laboring gardener.
gpt
Oh! then there is no hope. I had the thought of a second marriage, but Alix de Morainville could never stoop so low. Poor, dear, innocent little Alix! She must be dead--at the hand of butchers, as her father and her husband are.
