Jane, for God's sake, go talk to her. I'm nearly dead.
gpt
All right. Go off for a walk, and get some exercise.
human
Where's Jerry?
gpt
He's gone for a tramp.
human
With that Roberts girl?
gpt
Probably,
human
I can't endure her.
gpt
She is my best friend,
human
Do you like it out here?
gpt
Very much.
human
Must be awfully dull for Jerry.
gpt
Oh, he manages to amuse himself.

It always seems so dreadful for a great artist to be handicapped by poverty, a family, and all those things.
gpt
Most great artists have been so handicapped, I believe.
human
But Jerry always seems like a prince....
gpt
Oh, were you speaking of Jerry?
human
He should come into a fortune.
gpt

You don't like me, do you, Mrs. Paxton?
gpt
I trust you have not found me lacking in hospitality?
human
Oh, you've been hospitable enough. I suppose it is natural that you should not care for me much.
gpt

Jerry and I have been together so much. I'm afraid I've kept him away from you.
gpt
That would not have anything at all to do with my liking or disliking you,
human
Why do you, then?
gpt
I don't really dislike you. I'm sorry for you. It is always pitiful to be the last of a type, like a lone Indian among civilized whites.
human
I don't know what you're talking about.
gpt
There is a new kind of feeling among women of brains in the world to-day, a sodality. You may not have heard of it. No woman with self-respect sets herself to hurt another woman, not even to win a man they both care for. I belong to this new group, Miss Morton. That is why you are able to take advantage of my hospitality.
human
You fool! Don't you know Jerry cares for me?
gpt
That doesn't interest me,
