Did you ever kiss him?
gpt
Oh, dear, no. He was a peculiarly plain boy. He was, unfortunately, extremely ugly. I pitied him for it.
human
Was that the reason why you did not kiss him?
gpt
Oh, Mr. Carson, you are pertinently insolent.
human
Did you say that in support of your statement that you never kissed him?
gpt
No. It is a childish question.
human
Why, sir, did you mention that this boy was extremely ugly?
gpt
For this reason. If I were asked why I did not kiss a door-mat, I should say because I do not like to kiss door-mats.
human
Why did you mention his ugliness?
gpt
It is ridiculous to imagine that any such thing could have occurred under any circumstances.
human
Then why did you mention his ugliness, I ask you?
gpt
Because you insulted me by an insulting question.
human
Was that a reason why you should say the boy was ugly?
gpt
Why? why? why did you add that?
human
You sting me and insult me and at times one says things flippantly.
