How did he react?

React?

Of course, she went on,

gpt
Book?
human
The book on sneezing, when you get it published, she said.

There isn't going to be any book,
gpt
That's a shame, she said.
human
I've always wanted to be a Miss X. It sounds exciting.

human
Ken, Malone said.
gpt
Just call me Ken.
human
And I'm Lou, the girl said.
gpt
Good-by.
