The man offered me eighty lire for the Memmo, she said,

The man's crazy, he replied.

gpt
No, no, I'll go. But, really it is easier to buy that sort of thing than to sell it.
human

gpt
But I asked yesterday what I should get for a pair of bracelets; and I'll dispose of those to-day. And that will keep us going for quite a month. But I have some news for you. Do you know whom I met?
human
No.
gpt
The prince.

gpt

human
No,
