I asked George to bring you here, he explained.
gpt
I thought you'd be more comfortable at home.
human
My dear, you can't go out in that state!
gpt
Let me go! It was a _trick_! You lied to me!
human
I thought you'd be more comfortable at home, he repeated.
gpt
You won't find me in the way, I'm going back to Melton. I was only staying to see that you had everything you wanted.
human
Let me go!
gpt
No, I'm going. But isn't it more comfortable?
human
Oh, yes. It's more comfortable. Now may I go, please?
gpt
You had better stay. Let me help you upstairs, and then I'll leave the house. I was hoping you'd be glad to be back. And I'd waited so long.
human
Take me home!
gpt
You must stay here to-night.
human
I _ask_ you to take me home!
gpt
It's too late now, and you're tired, darling, he whispered.
human
To-morrow, if you like. I'm just going to carry you up to bed, as I used to do at Crowley Court when you were twelve and I came over for the holidays. Do you remember? And then I'll say good-night, and Violet will put you to bed and take care of you. Don't struggle, Sonia sweetheart! You can't hate me so much that you can't bear to let me touch you or carry you up a flight of stairs when you're ill.
