conversations.prefix: Dilettante:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: While James Bramley is universally recognized as an honest, earnest, and hard-working, the fact remains that he works, and by necessity, as his good breeding did not provide him with any inheritance. Who would marry a clerk?
