What is it, father? she asked; I had almost said that she demanded it, but there was no lack of respect in her voice.
gpt
Please don't disturb mother. She has a headache. I'm taking care of Charlie. What is it?
human
Oh, Sally, he said. It appeared as if he might even be afraid of her, just a little, with her seriousness and her direct ways and her great eyes that seemed to see right through a man. He gave a little laugh which he intended to be light. It wasn't.
gpt
Oh, all right, Sally. You're a very good girl, my dear.
human
Tell your mother, Sally, the professor went on,
gpt
Yes, she said,
human
Well, tell her that I am very sorry. If I could do anything for her, I should, of course, be only too happy. But I can't and there doesn't appear to be any good purpose served by my giving up my trip to town. In this the professor may, conceivably, have been wrong.
gpt
Give her my message, my dear, and take good care of Charlie. Good-bye, Sally.
human
Good-bye, father, she said.
gpt
I will tell mother.
