It's a nuisance having to wait so, isn't it? Wouldn't you like to come out for a little walk?
gpt
No, snapped the woman,
human
I wouldn't. Alice flushed, then smiled and went on down the aisle. Evidently her mission of good fairy was not going to be successful at the start.
gpt
Some people want to be 'heavy,' she thought.
human
I'll take some one who looks as though she wanted to be lightened up. Here's one.
gpt
Can I do anything for you?
human
Nobud-d-dy can, she wailed;
gpt
I'm going to be m-m-married!
human
Won't you tell me about it? she asked.
gpt
Cheering folks up was proving an intricate business.
human
If the garment of praise doesn't fit any one, she thought,
gpt
I'll just have to carry it back and wear it myself.
human
It's to be to-night and I've missed my train at the Junction already, and I don't know what to do. Everybody was invited and the supper won't keep, and I lost my solid silver hatpin, anyway.
gpt
Can't you come out and walk with me? suggested Alice.
human
The air will make you feel better. Bathe your eyes and come.
gpt
And I'm most sure the ribbon's cotton-back, she sighed.
human
I don't know why I bought it, anyway. That's always the way with me. I think I know what I'll get, and then they coax me into getting something different. Once I went down town to buy me a pair of black stockings, and I got an Alice blue silk waist, instead. Stephen he thinks it's funny and he says he'll see to the shopping when we're married. I wisht he'd come to-day.
gpt
Wouldn't it be fun if he had? said Alice.
human
There is a minister on the train, and we could have had a lovely wedding out here!
