I suppose it is settled, she said,
gpt
seeing the distress in Sally's face,
human
Oh, mother, I didn't say it was unpleasant. Mrs. Morton was as kind as any one could possibly be.
gpt
I am glad, dear. I was only going to ask why Fox stayed.
human
Well, she said,
gpt
Why not? he asked.
human
Why not stay, if you like it?
gpt
How absurd, Dick! Sally protested.
human
You are very kind, but you know mother will have to go pretty soon. And I've found a very good place.
gpt
If Sally says so, it's so, Dick retorted,
human
Mrs. Ladue, he asked suddenly,
gpt
Oh, cried Sally,
human
There's a reason, he said.
gpt
I'll take you when the time is ripe. I have something to show your mother and we have to go after it.
human
Can't you get it and show it to me, too?
gpt
I'm afraid not. It isn't mine, for one thing.
human
Oh, said Sally, her head in the air.
gpt
And I suppose you'll go in the morning, when I'm in school.
human
That might not be a bad idea. We might be followed. Can you go in the morning, Mrs. Ladue?
