Marjory and I decided we were not suited, he explained, but timidly, because her eyes flashed.
gpt
She takes half the income, and marries that fox-hunting ass. I am free with the rest of the money ; he waited for congratulations which never came.

human
Oh, you thought!
gpt
Is it not true? Have I been deceived? No! he flung out a beseeching hand;
human

gpt
