Shall I disturb you if I talk?
gpt
I'm ready to listen, answered Lulu, half closing her book.
human
What have you to say?
gpt
Oh, that Cousin Ronald Lilburn is coming, and I'm ever so glad, as you would be, too, if you knew him.
human
I never heard of him, said Lulu.
gpt
Is he a boy? is he older than Max?
human
I should think so! cried Rosie, with a merry laugh.
gpt
He has grown-up sons, and he looks a good deal older than grandpa.
human
Pooh! then why should I care about his coming!
gpt
Why, because he's very nice and kind to us children, and tells us the loveliest stories about the brownies in Scotland and about Bruce and Wallace and the black Douglass and Robin Hood and his merry men, and--oh, I can't tell you what all!
human
Oh, that must be ever so nice!
