human
Do you wish me to go with you?
gpt
Yes.
human
Why?
gpt
You have done me a service and in so doing have run yourself into peril. I must see that no harm comes to you.
human
You may intend to use me as a witness.
gpt
It is possible.
human
Then I cannot go with you. I will never turn against that man.
gpt
Are you under any obligations to him?
human
He never abused me. He was fond of me--treated me with great kindness, although he is a very desperate man. No, you must be satisfied with what service I have done you; I can never turn witness against him. I trust to your generosity to save me this trial.
gpt
I will promise not to call upon you as a witness.
human
I had long determined to flee away. I was not satisfied with my life with that man, although I cannot complain of his treatment. He gave me plenty of money, bought me expensive clothing, gave me jewels. He claims I am his niece; I do not believe it is a true claim.
gpt
You say he gave you jewels?
human
Yes.
gpt
Then he must have money.
human
He is rich.
gpt
How it is he lives in such miserable quarters?
human
That is a hiding place. He dwells there to hide his identity, but he has an elegant residence in New York. It is only within the last few weeks that he took up his abode in those miserable quarters where you found me.
gpt
You were disposed to act as his confederate when I first met you.
human
Yes, but I relented and I tried to give you warning; you would not heed me.
gpt
I suddenly resolved to carry out my design and flee away. I wished to save your life, for I believed you were in peril. When you passed our house he looked from the window and concluded you were searching for him. He evidently within the last few weeks has feared pursuit. I acted under his instructions. I did not dare refuse, but I did seek to save you. Then I concluded you were perfectly able to take care of yourself. The result proves my conclusion correct.
