Yes, of course, returned Betty.
gpt
I saw you fix it up with her. Did you tell her that I would be deeply disappointed if I didn't have the honor?
human
Something like that, laughed Kathryn.
gpt
Now let's get down to business.
human
who hiked were to meet at the school, but the committee on refreshments was to drive with their supplies. Miss Fox had accepted the offer of Kathryn's brother to drive the Allen car out for them and to help arrange their temporary camp. Lucia Coletti, interested and anxious to help, had begged her uncle for the use of his car.
gpt
It will be ready for you to go to business, she said,
human
Why turn my car into a grocery delivery wagon?
gpt
Because the groceries will not deliver the things for us.
human
Very well, then, Lucia, if you can make your peace with the chauffeur.
gpt
Oh, Horace! He will do anything! But I will tell him to come back immediately.
human
Will there be no one to come back, nothing to bring?
gpt
Oh, no--no--no, we all hike back, even those who ride out to do the breakfast.
human
I see; and the food will have been disposed of. See, Lucy, sister, how American your daughter is becoming? She talks of hikes and things.
gpt
I am only part American, Uncle, said Lucia, soberly and with emphasis.
human
I am also the daughter of Count Coletti!
gpt
I have to have somebody, don't I, to keep me in countenance before all those girls. Moreover, I want help in making the fires.
human
We girls are perfectly capable of making the fires.
gpt
Honestly, Kit, don't you like it?
human
Yes, I really do, but I don't know whether it's proper or not, or whether Miss Fox will like it or not.
gpt
She knows I'm going to drive, don't she?
human
Doesn't she, you mean. Yes. Oh, I suppose it's all right, if we can get all the things in.
gpt
Wait till you see us fix 'em!
