human
Oh, do please sit down! Don't stand there as if you were turned to stone!
gpt
I like you. It's very kind of you. I--I'm trying to think.... I can't take your word for it, you know. I love him--I trust him.
human
Daddy and mother are always at him. They think it--it will be redemption for him, you see.
gpt
Yes, I suppose they do--redemption! Suddenly she moved, taking two steps nearer to Amy, so that she stood almost over her.
human
And you think----?
gpt
Oh, I don't know! What am I to think? Why did you do it? Why did you make everything impossible either way? Somebody must be miserable now!
human
Somebody was miserable before--I was. And I've been happy for a bit. That's something. It seems to me only one person need be miserable even now. Why is that worse?
gpt
He might come back a little sooner than usual--we finish tea about half-past five. By the Tube---- She was nervously buttoning her jacket.
human
If he caught me!
gpt
Caught you here?
human
Oh, how can I go against them? I'm not married--I have to live there.
gpt
Would you be with me if you could? Would you, Amy? I had such a bad time of it! And he was mine first, you know.
human
Don't! she gasped.
gpt
I really must go, Mrs.--oh, I really must go!
human
Yes, you must go. He might come back soon now. Shall we ever meet again, I wonder?
gpt
Oh, why did you?
human
It's not what I did. It's what you think about it.
gpt
Because you seem to me wonderful. You're--you're so much above him, you know.
human
That doesn't help, even if it's true. I should hate to believe it.
gpt
Good-bye. You won't let anybody know I came? Oh, not Godfrey?
human
You may trust me--and Mr. Purnett too, I think.
gpt
Oh yes; I can trust him. Good-bye!
human
I am grateful, you know. Because thinking as you do about me----
gpt
Yes, but I don't know that you'll come worst out of it, after all,
