How do you do, Nils? Expect to stay with us long?
gpt
Oh, I may stay forever, Nils answered gaily.
human
I like this country better than I used to.
gpt
There's been some work put into it since you left,
human
Exactly. I think it's about ready to live in now--and I'm about ready to settle down. Nils saw his brother lower his big head. (

Mother's been persuading me to slow down now, and go in for farming,

human
Oh, I know! But I pick things up quickly. Nils had not meant to antagonize his brother, and he did not know now why he was doing it.
gpt

I shouldn't expect to make a big success, as you fellows have done. But then, I'm not ambitious. I won't want much. A little land, and some cattle, maybe.
