I should like to help you to get your rights. You saw that gentleman who left the room just now, that younger gentleman, I am to be his wife before long--he is a lawyer, may I tell him your tale?
gpt
No, no, not for worlds. Here Mrs. Home in her excitement rose to her feet.

I have told the story, forget it now, let it die.
gpt
What a very strange woman you are, Mrs. Home! I must say I cannot understand you.
human
You will never understand me. But it does not matter, we are not likely to meet again. I saw you for the first time yesterday. I love you, I thank you. You are a rich and prosperous young lady, you won't be too proud to accept my thanks and my love. Now good-bye.
gpt
No, you are not going in that fashion. I do not see why you should go at all; you have told me your story, it only proves that you want money very much, there is nothing at all to prevent your becoming my amanuensis.
human
I cannot, I must not. Let me go.
gpt
But why? I do not understand.
human
You will never understand. I can only repeat that I must not come here.
