Italie,

My dear Roland, said he,
human
I greatly desire to open a new career for you.
gpt
What is it?
human
That of a diplomat.
gpt
Oh, what a sad idea that is, general.
human
Nevertheless, you must yield to it.
gpt
What! You are not going to allow me to refuse?
human
No.
gpt
Then explain.
human
I am going to send you with a flag of truce to Sidney Smith.
gpt
My instructions?
human
You are to find out what is happening in France, and you will try to distinguish the truth from the false in what the commodore tells you, by no means an easy matter.
gpt
I will do my best. What will be the ostensible object of my embassy?
human
An exchange of prisoners. The English have twenty-five of our men; we have two hundred and fifty Turks. We will give them the two hundred and fifty men if they will give us our twenty-five Frenchmen.
gpt
And when am I to start?
human
To-day.
gpt
Tiger.
