Mary has just gone upstairs, replied Mrs. Ranger.
gpt
Shall I tell her you want her?
human
Yes, do please.
gpt
Mary! here’s John wants to see you. Shall I tell him to wait?
human
Oh, tell him I can’t come at present,
gpt
Is he to wait?
human
No; please tell him I can’t be bothered to-night.
gpt
I heard what the young lady said, and I suppose I must be content with that for my answer.
human
Is it anything you want, John, that I can do for you?
gpt
No, I think not—at least, I know you can’t,
human
Do you care to wait then?
gpt
No; I daresay I shall see her before long,—I should be sorry to bother her.
human
I think I can see what’s brewing. Now, don’t be offended if I offer you a bit of advice. I have had some experience, and seen a little of life, and have some knowledge of the ways of my own sex. Don’t be too ready to take a woman at her word. Just remember, she doesn’t always mean all she says. You see what I mean, I think? No offence. Good-night.
