My husband has telephoned that he cannot leave the Senate,
gpt
Well?
human
But Malipieri has come expressly to see him.
gpt
He can see him at the Senate,
human
But I have asked Malipieri to stay to luncheon. If I tell him that my husband is not coming, perhaps he will not stay after all.
gpt
Perhaps not,
human
You do not seem to care,
gpt
Why should I?
human
I thought you liked him. I thought it would amuse you if he lunched with us.
gpt
Did you tell the Baron that Signor Malipieri is here?
human
No, answered the Baroness, looking away.
gpt
As my husband said he could not come to luncheon, it seemed useless.
