Well? said Alice questioningly. And then:
gpt
If you have had a good time, don’t be afraid to say so.
human
Are you a little bit sorry?
gpt
I have nothing to be sorry for.
human
Then I suppose I must have.
gpt
Of course, you will decide that.
human
I presume, he continued, taking the fan without apology from her hands,
gpt
I may come over when you are not at home and look at your portrait?
human
I am sure you don’t realize how silly that sounds. I hear you have a new picture,
gpt
It is to be hung next week. MacBirney is to bring you over to see it. Are you sorry I came?
human
Oh, is _that_ what you meant? Why, such a question! You saved my evening.
gpt
But are you sorry?
human
I shouldn’t say so if I were, should I?
gpt
No, but answer, anyway.
human
How obstinate! No, then. And you saved my evening besides.
gpt
You must take me as I am.
human
You cannot, I know, be less than you should be.
gpt
How about you?
human
I hope no friend of mine would wish me anything less.
gpt
We are both then to be all we should be.
human
Don’t you think I am very patient?
gpt
You are. We are both to be, aren’t we?
human
I sincerely trust so, she said coldly.
gpt
But there is a limit to all things.
human
Thank you for a delightful evening.
