He began at once about his differences with you. His talk puzzled me. I was on the defensive, naturally. But as far as I could see, he designed no attack on me; and of you he could utter nothing but praise--it was rather trying to listen to.

human
Then he does not and never can stand between you and me, Alice?
gpt
He never can.
