Percy, she is right--you know in your own heart she is so. Have pity upon her; she will not do it--she cannot. I love her better than myself, but I could not advise her to do, even for her happiness, what she believes is not right;--she cannot come between you and your mother. Wait, Percy, and be patient--time works wonders. You may be sure she will be yours in heart to the end of her life. Have pity on her, Percy, and go.

What shall I do!
gpt
Go, Percy, I said, getting up.
human

gpt
Go. I do not say, forget me; I do not say, goodbye for ever; I only say, go, now. I cannot do what you ask me; let us wait--let us wait and hope.

And I no other man, Percy; and now kiss me and go.
