human
Yes, he did have a studio there,
gpt
I believe that is quite a picturesque country about there.
human
Quite picturesque.
gpt
Well, Dodge did not make a mistake going so far afield, though, for, after all, his specialty is the human figure, and here it is only trees that are not altered in their contour by the fashions. Yes, he was doing some really fine work. There was one study of a child--
human
He made one very good thing in Hillfield, said Carroll,
gpt
Well, I am glad of that, said Fowler.
human
Dodge has always been hampered in that way. Yes, he told me all the news, and especially mentioned having lived in the same village with you.
gpt
Yes,
human
I hope your wife and family are well,
gpt
Quite well, thank you.
human
Let me see--you are living in New York now?
gpt
No, I am at present in Banbridge.
human
Banbridge?
gpt
In New Jersey.
human
Let me see--your family consists of your wife and a daughter and son?
gpt
Two daughters and a son. One daughter married, last September, Major Arms.
human
Arms? Oh, I know him. A fine man. Fowler regarded Carroll with a slight show of respect.
gpt
But, he said,
human
I thought--Major Arms is nearly quite your age, is he not?
gpt
He is much older than Ina, but she seemed very fond of him.
human
Well, she has a fine man for a husband, said Fowler, still with the air of respect.
gpt
Your son is quite a boy now?
human
He is only ten.
gpt
Hardly more than a child.
human
My wife and son and my sister are at present in Kentucky with my wife's aunt, Miss Dunois; only my younger daughter is with me in Banbridge.
gpt
Catherine Dunois?
human
Yes.
gpt
I used to know her very well. She was a beauty, with the spirit of a duchess.
human
The spirit still survives,
gpt
She must be quite old.
human
Nearly eighty.
gpt
Well, good-day, said Fowler.
human
I am glad we chanced to meet.
gpt
Well, it is a small world, replied Carroll, smiling.
human
The chances for meeting are much better than they would be, say, in Mars.
gpt
Much better, and for hearing, also. Good-day.
human
Good-day.
