Is it really and truly you, Marjorie?
gpt
Yes, it really and truly is, laughed Marjorie.

I've been trying to find you all the afternoon, but there was such a crowd. I knew you'd be surprised.

Surprised! echoed Elsie, looking from Marjorie to her tall companion,

I was never so surprised in my life. But how did it happen--who brought you?
gpt
Mr. Randolph and his mother, said Marjorie,

I am sure it was extremely kind of Mrs. Randolph, Mrs. Carleton said, when Marjorie had finished her story.
gpt
I only hope this little girl hasn't been a trouble to your mother, Mr. Randolph.
human
Indeed she hasn't, declared Beverly, not without some indignation in his tone.
gpt
We've had a splendid time, haven't we, Marjorie?
human
It was beautiful. I never had such a good time in my life.
gpt
I am afraid that we must hurry along, Mrs. Carleton, said Beverly.

My mother and uncle have gone ahead, and will be waiting for us at the entrance. Don't worry about Marjorie; we'll take good care of her, and bring her home safely. We may be a little late, as my uncle doesn't like to run his car fast after dark.
gpt
Oh, I shall not worry, said Mrs. Carleton, with her sweetest smile.
human
I know Marjorie is in excellent hands, and between ourselves, I think she is a very fortunate little girl.
