Oh, he said.
gpt
What are you doing here?
human
Just saying hello, Thomas Boyd grinned.
gpt
Back at work?
human
Just about, Malone said.
gpt
Spending the evening relaxing, though.
human
Hm-m-m, Boyd said.
gpt

human
It does not,
gpt
But--
human
Tom, he said,
gpt
Great, Boyd said.
human
I like it already.
gpt
Suppose she looked about ... oh ... twenty-three,
human
Do any more supposing, Boyd said,
gpt
And then, Malone said, very carefully,
human
My grandmother, Boyd said virtuously,
gpt
Use your imagination, Malone snapped.
human
And suppose your grandmother recognized the girl as an old schoolmate of hers.
gpt
As a what?
human
An old schoolmate, Malone said.
gpt
Suppose this girl were so charming and everything just because she'd had ... oh, ninety years or so to practice in.
human
Malone, Boyd said in a depressed tone,
gpt
Well, Malone said,

You kidding? Boyd said.
gpt
Of course not.
human
But she's the same girl, Malone said.
gpt
You've just found out something new about her, that's all.
human

human
Nothing like that. Just--something.
