human
Oh, say something!
gpt
You'd censor it, Mlle. Secretary.
human
I wouldn't!
gpt
That's better, she said.
human
But you needn't do it any more. Now what are we going to do?
gpt
Wait for the commander-in-chief to get over his practical joke, I suppose.
human
Then, this is your idea of a joke, is it?
gpt
Not mine; his, said Pete.
human
And it's not so bad, at that.
gpt
I believe you don't care,
human
Oh, yes, I do. But I'm all over the rage part of it. What's the use?
gpt
Well, think of something, then.
human
I don't think it even requires thinking. What is there to do but sit here and wait?
gpt
That may be all right for you, she said, coldly.
human
But it seems absolutely futile to me. We don't know whether they'll ever come back.
gpt
Oh, they're bound to.
human
They're not, anything of the kind! He's done it deliberately; I'm sure of it. I wish I had him here for about two minutes.
gpt
I wish you had, said Pete, earnestly.
human
I'd pay for a grand stand seat.
gpt
I'd tell him what I think of him.
human
You sure would.
gpt
I never felt so helpless in my life. All I'm doing is getting sunburned. I'll be a fright.
human
If it's freckles you're worrying about, he likes 'em.
gpt
Oh, don't talk about them.
