I should like to marry your daughter, if she can love me well enough,
gpt
Does she know you at all, Mr. Anderson?
human
She knows me a little. I have, of course, seen her in my store.
gpt
Yes.
human
And once, as you may remember, she came here.
gpt
Yes, when she had the fright from the tramp.
human
She cannot know me very well, I admit.
gpt
I don't see that you know her very well, either, for that matter.
human
I know her well enough, said Anderson.
gpt
I have no doubt as far as I am concerned. My only doubt is for her, not only whether she can care sufficiently for me, but whether, if she should care, it would be the best thing for her. I am much older than she. I can support her in comfort, but not in luxury, probably never in luxury; and you know my position, that I have been forced to abandon a profession which would give my wife a better social standing. You know all that; there is no need of my dwelling upon it.
