Fred, are you asleep?
gpt
No,
human
Fred, he whispered,
gpt
I'm afraid you think me a brute.
human
No, I don't, replied I, astonished;
gpt
Why, I offended you just now, when you meant to be kind.
human
No you didn't, said I.
gpt
I know there are some things you don't like to talk about, and I--I've no right to ask you about them.
human
Old man, you can keep a secret, can't you?
gpt
Yes,
human
I've never told it to anybody yet; but somehow it's awful having no one to talk to,
gpt
What is it, Jack? I asked.
human
I won't tell a soul.
gpt
Fred--_my father is a convict_!
