When did you say you were off?
gpt
Next Tuesday. I'm looking forward to it. I've never seen Venice. I shall be at Danieli's.
human
Now did I ask for your address, Sir Axel?
gpt
Oh, I was playing my own hand. I thought perhaps, if I couldn't stand my own society all the time, you'd let me pay a call on you at the Lakes on my way back.
human
Well, I might go so far as to send you an address. Don't consider it a command--or even an invitation!
gpt
You see, I don't know a soul out there, and can't speak a word of the language.
human
Well, if absolute desperation drives you to our door, perhaps we'll let you stay a little.
gpt
Oh, I say, I didn't quite mean that!
human
The fact is, you're not very good at pretty speeches, are you? But I don't mind that--and you know I should always be glad to see you.
