It must be very important, she said,
gpt
You don't see, he said edging closer to her.
human

gpt
More important than I am?
human
Yet it takes you away from me.
gpt
Only for a little while--and look, dear, I don't want you to tell anyone I'm going.
human
Why not?
gpt
Because--well, it mustn't be known.

gpt
What I have to do--no.
human
Then let me come too. We could be married first. I don't want a fashionable wedding. Let's do that.

You don't trust me.
gpt

human
Huge interests means money.

It does, he replied,
human
No, she said.
gpt
I've all I want and you're well enough off. What's the good of more?
human
Just listen, he said.
gpt
If I bring off this deal there is no wish in the world one couldn't gratify, and bring it off I shall.
