Godfrey's staying over the night with his people; he's got a chill. I didn't know it, so I came back all the same from the Aikenheads'. --How glib!--
gpt
And I'm rather lonely too, Mr. Purnett.
human
Well--er--old Godfrey wouldn't object, would he?
gpt
You mean--that I should come alone? With you?
human
Hang it, if he will get chills and stay at Woburn Square! This doesn't strike one as very festive!
gpt
It isn't! said Winnie.
human
Shall I surprise you, Mr. Purnett, if I tell you that I have never in my life dined out or gone to the theatre alone with any man except Mr. Maxon and Godfrey?
gpt
I believe it if you say so, Mrs. Ledstone, he rejoined submissively.
human
But Godfrey and I are such good pals. Why shouldn't you?
gpt
I'm going to,
human
All right. I'll meet you at the Café Royal--eight sharp. Jolly glad I looked in! I say, what price poor old Godfrey--with a chill at Woburn Square, while we're having an evening out?
gpt
It serves Godfrey quite right,
