By gad, Lucie, you're beautiful to-night!
gpt
Thanks, cousin Robert. Was it for that----?
human
No! See here, where did you get that collar of jewels?
gpt
Indeed! The girl proudly drew herself up.
human
What business is that of yours, sir?
gpt
Aren't you one of the family? It's our business to protect your rep----
human
Be careful! Anger trembled in her voice, cut off his words.
gpt
Be careful!
human
But damn it--Lucie! Don't you know that I want to marry you----
gpt
My dear Robert, I certainly do not want to marry any man who swears to my face--you least of all! she coldly intervened.
human
I have already refused you three times; let this be the fourth and last. I owe you no account of my possessions nor where I get them; I am entirely capable of managing my own affairs. Now, kindly inform me why you wished me to meet you here. Also, you know that I don't like cigarette smoke.
