Papa, said Ada,
gpt
Knows what?
human
That you and he are engaged together.
gpt
He knows more than I do, then. He knows more than I ever shall know. Ada, you should not have said so. It will have to be all unsaid.
human
Not at all, dear.
gpt
It will all have to be unsaid. Have you been speaking to Captain Clayton on the subject?
human
Not a word. Indeed it was not I who told papa. It was Peter. Peter said that there was something between you and him, and papa asked me. I told papa that he was in love with you. That was true at any rate. You won't deny that?
gpt
I will deny anything that connects my name with that of Captain Yorke Clayton.
