You don't mean that valet who brought you home from the party?
gpt
Oh, I didn't mean anybody particularly, answered Nell, guiltily.
human
But of course even he would be better than nobody.
gpt
Nell Norcross, don't let that young man get into your head. There's something mysterious about him. He may be only a valet, but I'm not certain. I'm suspicious of him. He has a habit of forgetting himself.
human
I know,
gpt
Oh, you do, do you? I might have guessed it. Take my advice and give him a wide berth.
human
Of course, Mary, I don't want to interfere with you in any way. But----
gpt
Interfere with me? exclaimed Mary sharply.
human
Do you think I am interested in valets?
gpt
But you thought he might be something else. At least, you hinted it. He's a divinity student, isn't he?
human
Divinity! Mary summoned all her scorn in that word.
gpt
Oh, very likely. But what sort of a divinity is he studying? Perhaps you're a candidate for the place.
human
Mary Wayne, you're mean! I think that's a nasty remark.
gpt
Oh, well; I didn't mean it. But you'd better take my advice, just the same. I've seen much more of him than you have.
human
Now, my dear, I must be going back. They'll be sending out a general alarm for me, I suppose. I didn't ask anybody's permission to come, you see.
gpt
There isn't much doubt Mr. Marshall will be alarmed,
human
You're in a rather silly mood this evening, said Mary.
gpt
Well, good-by. I'll send you some more money as soon as I'm paid again.
human
You're awfully good to me, she murmured.
gpt
Good-by. And if you see----
