I think I'd better go home this way, said Mabel, when they got to the end of the glade.
gpt
It is my soonest way home, and I have got a great deal to do. I suppose I shall see you at church to-morrow?
human
O, yes, returned Minnie.

O, Minnie, you can't think how amused I was at your efforts to keep from speaking about it yesterday and the day before! You would open your lips to say something every five minutes, and then suddenly recollecting yourself, you would close them again with a determined snap, but it was hard work to keep them closed, I could see that plainly enough.

I know it was, she confessed,
human
Well, be thankful it _is_ so, advised Mabel.

And now I'm off. Good-bye.
