I just love Smiles,
gpt
Indeed, so does every one who knows her. _You_ do, don't you, Mike?
human
Witchery, laughed his father.
gpt
Even your clumsy description has strangely stirred my youthful blood, and 'I longs fer ter see this hyar wonderful child dryad of ther primeval forest.' If you ever go back there, you had better wear magic armor as protection against that illusive smile which seems to have cast a spell of enchantment over your civilized senses.

Pshaw, you needn't be concerned about my feelings for her. She's no siren, but a very real little person. I'll admit that she's amazingly attractive; but she's merely a child.

Children grow up,

I'm aware of that natural phenomenon, answered Donald, somewhat curtly.
gpt
But ... Great Scott, can't I describe a fifteen--no, sixteen-year-old little savage, without all you people imagining that I'm going to be such a fool as to fall in love with her?
human
Sometimes it isn't what one says, but the way he says it, that incriminates,
gpt
Hang it all, I believe that I'll go back and ask Smiles to marry me, if only to put an end to your teasing, cried Don with a laugh not entirely natural.
human
At least I might perhaps succeed in frustrating _your_ obvious designs, Ethel. Oh, I'm not blind!
gpt
I've almost concluded that you _are_--or hopeless, answered his sister.
human
However, I'm perfectly willing to admit that I would like to see you married to Marion Treville--she's my closest friend, and would certainly make you a perfect wife.
gpt
Too perfect, by far. Can you imagine me hitched with that proud and classic beauty? I should go mad.
human
But I want my pretty basket that little Smiles made for me,
gpt
To be sure you do, and I want to see my present, too. I'll bring them right down.
