He won't hurt you, Drakina, said one voice.
gpt
He's kissed me many a time, and I don't know what he might not have done if Makzelo had not been there.
human
Where is he, Malsprita?
gpt
Hullo, said the voice of the man, apparently called Makzelo.
human
He seems to have gone away. The room's empty, that's strange.
gpt
Perhaps he's gone to bed,
human
He can't have; he never goes to bed as early as this. We have played with him night after night. He loves it, doesn't he, Malsprita?
gpt
When I do it.
human
Andrea!
gpt
Let's go and look for him in the corridors. How strange! he was dreadfully excited about his Queen. He mustn't be disappointed.
human
I'm frightened, said Drakina.
gpt
I don't want to be his Queen.
human
You who wanted so to be in a real King's arms. What a little coward you are!
gpt
But the corridors are so dark. Is he very dreadful to look at, Malsprita?
human
He is not so ugly as you, club-foot! Nothing like.
