I want to know what you intend to do, said Silas. There was a note of weakness and helplessness in his voice.
gpt
I want to know what to expect. I'm tired of leading a dog's life. I hear you have been colloguing with lawyers.
human
Do you remember your first visit here? inquired Mrs. Claiborne very sweetly. If she was an enemy, she certainly knew how to conceal her feelings.
gpt
Do you remember how wildly you talked--how insulting you were?
human
I declare to you on my honour that I never intended to insult you,
gpt
Why, all your insinuations were insulting. You gave me to understand that my coming here was an outrage--as if you had anything to do with my movements. But you insisted that my coming here was an attack on you and your son. When and where and how did I ever do you a wrong?
human
Why didn't you--didn't--
gpt
Did I desert you when you were ill and delirious? Did I put faith in an anonymous letter and believe you to be dead?
human
Did you hang that thing up there for Paul to see it and ask questions about it?
gpt
I hung it there because I chose to, she replied.
human
Judge Vardeman thinks it is a very good likeness of you, but I don't agree with him. Do you think it does you justice?
gpt
And then there's Paul, said Silas, ignoring her question.
human
Do you propose to let him go ahead and fall in love with the girl?
gpt
Paul is not my son,
human
But the girl is your daughter,
gpt
I shall look after her welfare, never fear,
human
But suppose they should take a notion to marry; what would you do to stop 'em?
gpt
Oh, well, that is a question for the future, replied the lady, serenely.
human
It will be time enough to discuss that matter when the necessity arises.
