Tell me about yourself, now, she said.

My father has told me some things in letters, but I long to know from you if I made a mistake in wanting you to try the Legion.
human
You made no mistake. It's one of the things I have to thank you for--one of several very great things,
gpt
What _other_ things? I can't think of one unless you thank me for having a splendid father.
human
That's one thing.
gpt
Are there more?
human
Yes.
gpt
Tell me, please. Anyway, the greatest, or I shan't believe in any.
human
For giving me back my faith in women.
gpt
I? But you hadn't lost it.
human
I was in danger of losing it, with most of my mental and moral baggage. Through you--I've kept the lot.
gpt
That's the most beautiful thing ever said to me. And it does me so much good after all I've gone through and been blamed for!
human
Who's dared to blame you for anything?
gpt
I asked you to tell me about yourself. When you have done that I'll tell you things that have happened here, things concerning Manöel Valdez and Ourïeda--poor darling Ourïeda, whom I ought to be thinking of every instant! And so I am, only I can't help being happy to get away--with you.
