Now, what do you think of that?
gpt
Goodness, Betty, how wonderful! exclaimed her friend.
human
I do so want to see that over-blouse you bought. And you say she is making another?
gpt
Is that all you've got to say about it?
human
Why--er--you know, it really is none of our business, is it? asked Bobby, but with dancing eyes.
gpt
You know Miss Prettyman told us that the greatest fault of character under which young ladies labor to-day is vulgar curiosity. Oh, my! I can see her say it now,
human
But, Bobby! Do think a bit! A girl and a horse both of the same name, and just recently from England! I'm going to ask right out what it means.
gpt
Who are you going to ask--the horse?
human
Oh, you! No, I can't ask the pretty black mare, Betty said, shaking her head.
gpt
For she is going to be sent away for her health. She's got what they call 'distemper.' She has to be acclimated, or something.
human
It sounds as though it might hurt,
gpt
Something ought to hurt you, said Betty laughing.
human
You are forever and ever poking fun. But I am going to see Ida Bellethorne in the shop and find out what she knows about the pretty mare.
gpt
Well, I'm sorry I didn't see the horse, confessed Bobby.
human
But I'll go with you to see the girl. And I do want to see the blouse.
