Is he so bad as that?
human
No worse than any other old skinflint who feels he owns you, body and brains, replied Albert,
gpt
I am sorry, old man, rejoined Frank in a low tone,
human
I wish I could help you. Maybe I can in the near future.
gpt
It seems to me you have everything to be thankful for, Frank, he said at last in a dejected tone,--
human

human

human

human

gpt
I would like to see that brave sister of yours, said Frank after a pause.
human
