Nobody's going to hurt you, Miss Wilson said. She was talking to the old lady.
gpt
You'll be perfectly all right and you don't have to worry about a thing.
human
Oh, yes, dear, I know that, the little old lady said.
gpt
You only want to help me, dear. You're so kind. And these FBI men really don't mean any harm. But Dr. Harman didn't know that. He just thinks I'm crazy and that's all.
human
Please, Miss Thompson--
gpt
Just crazy, that's all, the little old lady said. She turned away for a second and nobody said anything. Then she turned back.
human
Do you all know what he's thinking now? she said. Dr. Harman turned a dull purple, but she ignored him.
gpt
He's wondering why I didn't take the trouble to prove all this to you years ago. And besides that, he's thinking about--
human
Miss Thompson, Dr. Harman said. His bedside manner had cracked through and his voice was harsh and strained.
gpt
Please.

Oh, all right, she said, a little petulantly.
gpt

human
Why didn't you prove you were telepathic before now?
gpt
Why, because you wouldn't have believed me, she said. She dropped her knitting neatly in her lap and folded her hands over it.
human
None of you _wanted_ to believe me, she said, and sniffed. Miss Wilson moved nervously and she looked up.
gpt
And don't tell me it's going to be all right. I know it's going to be all right. I'm going to make sure of that.
