Well?
gpt
No, Mr. Hamilton, I said,
human
I am not going to school. I cannot afford to.
gpt
I will send you,
human
You cannot do that if I refuse to go.
gpt
Why should you refuse?
human
Because it would cost you money--dirty money,
gpt
Nonsense! He said that angrily now.
human
I _want_ you to go.
gpt
Thank you; but, nevertheless, I am not going.
human
You are an ignorant, untrained, undisciplined girl. If you wish to accomplish the big things you plan, you will have to be educated. Here is your chance.
gpt
I'm sorry, but I'll have to get along the best way I can.
human
You are stubborn, pig-headed, foolish. Don't you _want_ to be educated? Are you satisfied with your present illiterate condition?
gpt
I can't afford to be,
human
But if I am willing--
gpt
I took nearly six weeks to earn the money to pay you back. I told you I'd never take another cent from you, and I never will.
human
Why not?
gpt
Because I want you to know that I care nothing, nothing at all--nothing, nothing, about your money, that you said every one else wanted. _I_ only care for _you_. I do.
human
Don't you see that I can't let you help me again unless you care for me as I do for you? Don't you see that?
gpt
I see that you are a very foolish little girl.
human
You mean because I--care for you?
gpt
Because you've made yourself believe you do,
human
I _do_, I said earnestly.
gpt
I haven't thought of anything else except you.
human
Nonsense! You mustn't get sentimental about me. Let's talk of something else. Have you been writing anything lately?
gpt
But you've never been there, child.
human
I know, I said;
gpt
I believe you can. I don't doubt that you will accomplish all that you hope to. You are a _wonderful_ girl.
