I beg your pardon, Miss Debree, but would you mind telling me whether the movement of Women's Rights is gaining in America?
gpt
I'm sure I don't know, Mr. Lyon, Margaret replied, after a pause, with a look of weariness.
human
I'm tired of all the talk about it. I wish men and women, every soul of them, would try to make the most of themselves, and see what would come of that.
gpt
But in some places they vote about schools, and you have conventions--
human
Did you ever attend any kind of convention yourself, Mr. Lyon?
gpt
I? No. Why?
human
Oh, nothing. Neither did I. But you have a right to, you know. I should like to ask you one question, Mr. Lyon,
gpt
Should be most obliged.
human
Why is it that so few English women marry Americans?
gpt
I--I never thought of that, he stammered, reddening.
human
Perhaps--perhaps it's because of American women.
gpt
Thank you, said Margaret, with a little courtesy.
human
It's very nice of you to say that. I can begin to see now why so many American women marry Englishmen.
