Are you talking of very interesting things?
gpt
I hear you are going for a cruise with Mrs. Shiffney,
human
I believe I am. It would be rather nice to get out of this weather. But you don't mind it.
gpt
How can you know that?
human
It's very simple, almost as simple as some of Sherlock Holmes's deductions. You have refused the cruise which I have accepted. I expect you were right. No doubt one might get terribly bored on a yacht, unable to get away from people. I almost wonder that I dared to say 'Yes!'
gpt
Where are you going to sit, Charmian?
human
Dearest mother, I'm afraid I must go upstairs. I've got to try on coats and skirts.
gpt
The voyage, you know. I wish you could have come!
human
I'm to answer Mrs. Shiffney on Sunday,
gpt
Oh, I thought you had answered! Is Sunday your day for making up your mind?
