No, he said, hoarsely,
gpt
I shall not come to-morrow.
human
Then, the next day.
gpt
No, nor the next day.
human
Well, when you can. If you let me know, I shall stay in, whenever it may be.
gpt
You needn't stay in. I'm not coming any more.
human

I can't come, Miriam. Don't you see? Isn't it plain enough? I can't come. I thought I could. I tried to think I could hold you--in spite of everything. But I can't. I _can't_.
gpt
You can hold me--if I stay. I want to stay. You mustn't let me go. I want you to be happy. You deserve it. You've done so much for me--and _him_.
