Oh, husband, I know it was wrong; but when I woke up and couldn't remember anything, I was so frightened, and then nurse brought me a looking-glass and the face I saw was so strange! Oh, it was so lonely without even myself! And then nurse said it was my hair. She said it sometimes happened when people have had a great shock or been very ill and so--I made her cut it off. She didn't want to--it wasn't her fault--I made her do it.
gpt
But what had happened to your hair?
human
It had turned quite white, most of it. The girl shuddered.
gpt
Oh, it was horrid! I am sure you would not have liked it.
human
You must grow a nice new crop of black curls, if you want to appease me,
gpt
Oh, do you like black hair?
human
Yes, don't you? Your hair was black before your illness.
gpt
I know it was--but I hate it! At all events, as long as I must wear a wig, I should like to have a nice yellow one; nurse tells me I can get them quite easily.
human
Dear me! But I don't think a wig nice at all.
gpt
Don't you?
