I didn't know what had become of you,
gpt
I've been busy,
human

gpt
I think of going off somewhere to seek my fortune,
human
Oh, I hope not; your friends wouldn't like that. There is no place like New York, I'm sure. And there was a real note of friendliness and encouragement in her tone.
gpt
Only, and she gave him another bright smile,
human
I think of running away from it myself, for a time. It's a secret yet. Carmen wants me to go abroad with her.
gpt
I have not seen Mrs. Henderson since her husband's death. How is she?
human

And, oh, can't you come in to dinner tomorrow night--just Carmen--I think I can persuade her--and nobody else?
human
I'm sorry that I have an engagement,
gpt
Well, some other time. Only soon.
