He's enjoying every moment of this, she said,
gpt
I think he looks as if he wants a change, said Caroline.
human
Fresh air, perhaps, and not quite so much to do.
gpt
I was afraid you would say that, she said.
human
The Bishop said it too. He's a lovely sort of Bishop, isn't he? So human, and so kind, and not too churchy. It would be rather peaceful to be in his Diocese.
gpt
Would you like to live in the country?
human
I feel just the same, about our part of London, said Caroline.
gpt
I've persuaded father to give up our house there, because I like living in the country much better. It's partly because of the people, as you say. You get to know all sorts better, in the country. I have a lot of friends among the people in our village, just as you have in your parish, though they live rather quieter lives than yours seem to, and are not so--well, so disreputable.
human
They're not really disreputable, Viola said;

And he _will_ invite such a lot of people to meals, she went on;
human
I expect you do too, if there isn't enough,
gpt

human
But we haven't got much money, you know, and housekeeping _is_ rather difficult sometimes.
gpt
Are you persuading her to make her husband come to Abington? she asked.
human
She _ought_ to. He can't stand _that_ life much longer.
gpt
Oh, I know nothing was to be said about it till after you had seen whether you liked them or not, she said.
human
But of course you like them. I do myself, though I should like to smack them both and send them to bed.
gpt
We want a Vicar at Abington, said Caroline.
human
Father is the patron of the living. Do persuade your husband to come there.
gpt
Oh, my dear, it's just what I should love for him, she said.
human
He'll get enough to eat, and time to rest sometimes.
