Poor Cal, she'd better let things alone. What's the use? She can't do anything with people like that.

It's the cause of the suicide that's the disgusting thing,
human
Or rather, amended his wife,
gpt
But surely, protested Mrs. Prescott,
human
Oh, do they? scoffed Mrs. Leonard.
gpt
Not that class. I scarcely expect you to believe me--I had a hard time believing it myself--but she says she committed suicide--she left a note for her room-mate--because she was 'tired of not having any fun!'
human
Why, I don't know, said Wayne,
gpt
I think that's about one of the best reasons I can think of.
human
This is not a jesting matter, Captain Jones,
gpt
Far from it,
human
Think what it means to a girl like Caroline Osborne! A girl who is trying to do something for humanity--to find the people she wants to uplift so trivial--so without souls!
gpt
It is hard on Cal,

Though perhaps just a trifle harder, ventured Wayne,

Come now, Captain, you can't make out much of a case for her. Mrs. Leonard's word is just right--trivial. She said she was tired of things. Tired--tired--tired of things, she put it. Tired of walking down the same street. Tired of hanging her hat on the same kind of a peg! Now, Captain--if you can put up any defense for a girl who kills herself because she's tired of hanging her hat on a certain kind of peg! Well, he laughed,
gpt
Why didn't she walk down some other street, he resumed, as no one broke the pause.
human
If it's a matter of life and death--a person might walk down some other street!
gpt
And I've no doubt, said Captain Prescott,
human
Oh, of course, the secret of it is, pronounced the Colonel,
gpt
I think it's such a fine thing we got hold of that word. Since we've known about neurotics we can just throw all the emotion and suffering and tragedy of the world in the one heap and leave it to the scientists. It lets _us_ out so beautifully, doesn't it?
human
Oh, but Katie! admonished Mrs. Prescott.
gpt
Think of it! What is the world coming to? Going forth to meet one's God because one doesn't like the peg for one's hat!
human
she laughed wildly.
gpt
Don't drag _Him_ into it! Do you think _He_ cares --turning upon Mrs. Prescott as if she would spring at her--
