Sit down; you must be tired after your journey. I am very sorry Ray is not at home to meet you.

Never mind; I will see him to-morrow. And all my friends have been quite well since I left, Erminie?
human
Yes, all. If you had arrived ten minutes sooner, you would have seen Pet. She has just gone.
gpt
Well, I will shortly have that pleasure. How tall you have grown, and how you have changed since I saw you last, Erminie!
