You must be careful with me, Mr. Ledstone. Remember I'm not used to flattery!
gpt
The things you have been used to! Good heavens!

I dare say I exaggerate.
gpt
I don't believe you do. I believe there are worse things--things you can't speak of.

Oh, I don't think so, really I don't. Isn't it a pretty sky, Mr. Ledstone?
gpt
Indeed it is, and a pretty world too, Mrs. Maxon. Haven't you found it so?
human
Why will you go on talking about me?
gpt
Mayn't I talk about the thing I'm thinking about? How can I help it?
human
It is horribly hard not to, isn't it? That's why I've told all about it, I suppose.
