Easter holidays begin next week, he remarked, putting an arm about her and returning her caress;
gpt
No, she said;

gpt
That is what mamma's and grandpa's pupils are to do, he said.
human
They are invited to both the Oaks and the Laurels in May and June, to spend some weeks at each place. And you are included in both invitations.
gpt
I shall not go unless you do, she said with decision.
human
Parted from my husband for weeks? No, indeed! I can hardly stand it for a single day,
gpt
Nor I, little wife, he said, passing his hand softly over her hair.
human
Do you feel equal to a ride this afternoon?
gpt
Why, yes; of course! shall I get ready at once?
human
Yes, do, dearie. There is to be a party of us--grandpa, mamma, and Miss Fleming, Miss Deane, you and I.
gpt
Riding three abreast, I suppose. But why did you ask Miss Deane? She'll spoil all my enjoyment.
human
Don't let her; I must show some attention to her as a guest in the house, and really felt obliged to invite her. We are to call at Fairview, and see how Lester and Elsie get on with their housekeeping. Now, do promise me that you will be a good, sensible little woman, and not indulge in jealousy.
gpt
To please you I'll do the very best I can. I told you I would do anything for love and coaxing,
human
I'll try always to remember and practice upon that, he said,
gpt
Now, darling, don that very becoming hat and habit you wore this morning.
