What? she asked incredulously.
gpt
You don't mean the house with the dim light over the door--the one with the fan! Jane nodded assent.
human
Why, Sally continued,
gpt
There are plenty of lights, just the same. What did you expect? A general illumination--with a band?
human
Something more than a dark house, she replied, smiling a little.
gpt
It looks as if they had all gone to bed.
human
They haven't gone to bed.
gpt
Well, said Sally inquiringly,
human
I--I suppose i--it's up to me, he replied hesitatingly,
gpt
Don't you want to?
human
No, I don't, Sally, he rejoined decidedly.
gpt
I certainly don't. But I want to help you, and therefore I do. It would be hard to make you understand, perhaps, and--
human
I think I understand, Eugene, she interrupted gently,
gpt
I don't feel as confident as I ought, he said apologetically,
human
You can tell him, she replied firmly,
gpt
That brings up another question, he said.
human
Where shall you wait? And what will you do--in case I am longer than you expect? I confess that I am uneasy about you--waiting around the streets--alone.
gpt
You needn't be, she returned.
human
Of course, she admitted,
gpt
I wish I felt as sure of it as you do. But I'll go in--or try to. He looked the street up and down.
human
You'd better get in the shadow, somewhere; well in the shadow. Their doorman has sharp eyes. That's what he's there for, he added in response to her questioning look.
gpt
Perhaps you'd better not be within view when I go in. We'll walk back a bit and I'll leave you there.
