gpt
On the other hand, I hardly think that even one of your suppers would quite have put right the defect in my appearance you mentioned. You see, the cause of it has been at work for some time.
human
If ye'll come over every evening, we'll soon cure that. I would have been down sooner if Alic had not kept me. He's writing letters, and there was a matter or two he wanted to ask my opinion on.
gpt
I think that was very wise of him,

For one thing, we had a letter from Evelyn Chisholm this afternoon. She'll be out to spend some time with us in about a month.
gpt
Evelyn's coming here?
human
