human
You struck me! he panted, furiously.
gpt
I'll never forgive it, never!
human
I beg your pardon, she said, with her sweetened voice and smile.
gpt
I had to defend myself, you know.
human
Why?
gpt
Prince, she said, persuasively,
human
No,
gpt
Yes, it is. You won't understand me. Your temperament is not in harmony with mine. Don't you understand? You force me to speak coarsely, because you are coarse yourself.
human
I?
gpt
Yes. You don't believe in the sincerity of my independence.
human
No, I don't!
gpt
Is that courteous, towards a woman?
human
I am courteous only up to a certain point.
gpt
We have left that point behind. So be courteous again as before.
human
You are playing with me. I shall never forget it; I will be revenged.
gpt
So it's a struggle for life and death?
human
No, a struggle for victory, for me.
gpt
Thanks for showing me round, she said, a little mockingly.
human
The camera degli sposi, above all, was splendid. Don't let us be angry any more.
gpt
No, he said,
human
Poor cheek! she said, teasingly.
gpt
Poor prince! Did I hit hard?
human
Yes.
gpt
How can I extinguish that burning?
human
You're a bigger coquette than any Italian woman.
gpt
With a kiss?
human
Demon!
gpt
With a kiss?
human
Yes, he said.
gpt
There, in our camera degli sposi.
human
No, here.
gpt
Demon!
human
And now that's over. The incident is closed.
gpt
Angel! She-devil!
