If Helen could see me now! Good Lord!

When Helen and I were traveling this same route and we realized that the frontier meant getting up in the night and the horrors of the customs, I suggested that she be a sport, and toss up a coin to see which of us should take on the job.
human
Horrors! I interjected.

How could you even think of such a thing?
human
How could I? There you have it. How could I? I did, all the same. We were both young and healthy. I didn't see why my sex should be penalized. We threw, and it fell to her.

Horrors came from the opposite bed.

But of course you did not let her when it came to the scratch? You remembered that you were supposed to take care of her?
gpt
What I remember only too well is that I did let her do it. She spoke French beautifully and she did it quite uncomplainingly. What a brute I was! I cannot believe that I was ever that sort of being.
human
Suppose we toss up now?
gpt
You! Why, little Puss, I would sit up all night with joy, rather than have you wakened. You go out and attend to the customs! He laughed again.

If Helen could see me now! What a hell of a life I must have led her!
