Tell me about the boys, she said.
gpt
Are they nice boys?
human
I hope so. If they are not you must try to make them so. Their names are Randolph and Ashby. Randolph is a year older than you and Ashby a year younger.

gpt
May I tell Mary Lee and the twins about the boys coming and your going if I don't tell why?
human
Yes, I shall be glad if you would.
