My wife and Nita told me all about it, and of course it settles one point satisfactorily. It places beyond doubt that you are really Johann Lassen. Nevertheless I could wish it had been established in a less dramatic and embarrassing fashion for you.
gpt
It was exceedingly unpleasant, sir.
human
Tell me all about it.
gpt
Have you any reason to doubt it? Did you remember anything which enabled you, I mean?
human
Not a thing. So far as I know, I never saw the woman before in all my life.
gpt
But she was positive?
human
She embraced me and called me her 'long lost darling,' and so on.
gpt
Women are hysterical creatures, we know, and apt to make any sort of statement at such moments. Do you think she was really in earnest? Of course it's important.
human
Your people could judge that as well as I, sir.
gpt
True. Which would you rather it was--true or false?
human
False, without a question.
gpt
Despite the fact that it establishes your identity?
human
Certainly. Any man who feels as I do now must loathe to have such a brutal thing as that dug up out of his past.
gpt
Good. I'm glad to hear you say that.
