Good morning. Miss Deane; I am pleased to see you. I hope Mr. Kelvin is no worse,
gpt
Mr. Kelvin is no worse, madam, than he has been all along. He is still very ill--too ill to leave his room; and having something of importance to communicate, and being still too weak to write down the particulars, he has deputed me to come in his stead.
human
Something of importance to communicate to me or to Sir Thomas?
gpt
My errand is to Miss Lloyd. It concerns her more nearly than anyone else.
human
Eleanor, my love, had you not better take Miss Deane to your own room?
gpt
I have no secrets from you, Lady Dudgeon, said Eleanor.
human
Whatever Miss Deane may have to communicate can just as well be told here as elsewhere.
gpt
Are you sure that you would not prefer to see her alone?
human
Quite sure.
gpt
Then Miss Deane may as well be seated.
