Sit down, she commanded abruptly.
gpt
I have yet to learn details of your scheme.
human
You flatter me, M. Demetrius, since I cannot take credit for your clever inventions.
gpt
We are all in the same boat, madame.
human
You, I, and----?
gpt
Your husband.
human
Can you not grasp the fact that I am a widow? When I have a husband, she smiled meaningly,
gpt
My angel! you mean----
human
Of course I do. Ah! with a sentimental sigh;
gpt
Never by me, I swear. Believe me, soul of my soul----
human
Hush! she raised an admonitory finger to check dithyrambic wooings at an untoward moment.
gpt
We are yet in the wood.
human
Out of it, while here--yes, here, where you so sweetly promised we should become one
gpt
After certain preliminaries had been observed, M. Demetrius.
human

gpt
Ah! the child sighed for his lost rattle;
human
Would you versify explanations?
gpt
Explanations?
human
Necessary ones. How did you transfer Garth's body to Jamaica?
gpt
To think of wasting this golden hour,
human
Oh! The ejaculation was careless, but the instinct was to box a dullard's ears.
gpt
Business before pleasure, M. Demetrius.
human
At least, Constantine.
gpt
M. Demetrius, she repeated inflexibly.
human
We are to marry, well and good; but beforehand, I must understand my position as a Russian princess.
gpt
I am a simple doctor, madame.
human
Very simple, if you imagine--but that can be discussed later. Come, cajolingly to a hesitating and sullen being,
gpt

gpt
And I may be weeping some minutes later, she retorted, suppressing rising irritation.
human
I ask explanations rather than give them. Tell me how you managed.
