And I have been afraid to touch you.
gpt
That's not my fault, I said.
human
You can kiss me any time you wish.
gpt
Nora, get your things all packed. I'll have to take you with me.
human
Where?
gpt
I'm obliged to go abroad on a certain pressing matter. I came here to-day specially to be with you before leaving. I see I can't leave you behind.
human
Do you mean--
gpt
I mean simply that, though it will be devilishly inconvenient, I shall be obliged to take you with me. I can't trust you here.
human
Roger, do you mean that we are going to be married?
gpt
No. That's impossible.
human
You want to take me, then, because you are afraid some other man might get me, not because you want me yourself.
gpt
The first part of your statement is certainly true; the second part is questionable.
human
I'm not going,
gpt
Oh, yes, you are.
human
Oh, no, I'm not.
gpt
Are we to have another combat?
human
I'm not going.
gpt
Can't leave your fiancé?
human
I'm just not going, that's all.
gpt
What do you intend to do, then, while I'm gone?
human
Just what I'm doing now.
gpt
You intend to continue your--er--engagement?
human
No; I'll break that off. I looked at Roger.
gpt
I owe that to _him_.
human
H-m! Owe nothing to me, eh?
