I'll take a cup of tea, Phoebe, but I'm not a bit hungry, she said.
gpt
I ate just before I left town. How have you been, Phoebe?
human
We been fine. We been so sorry for you--
gpt
Never mind that now, Phoebe. I'd rather not talk about it. Has--anybody been here lately?
human
Charlie Fox, he come las' week--mebby week before las'. Marthy, she got rheumatis in her knee. Charlie, he say she been pretty bad one night. I guess she's better now. I tol' I wash for her if he brings me clo'es, but he says he wash them clo'es hisself. I guess Charlie pretty good to that old lady. He's awful p'lite, that feller is.

Yes, he is. I'll go up and see her when I get rested a little. I feel tired to death, somehow; maybe it's the drive. The road is terribly rough, and it was awful tiresome on the train. Has--Ward been around lately?
human
Ward, he ain't been here for long time. I guess mebbe it's been six weeks I ain't seen him. Las' time he was here he wrote that letter. He ain't come no more. You let me drag this couch up to the fire, and you lay down and rest yo'self. I'll put on more wood. Seems like this is awful cold winter. We had six little pigs come, and four of 'em froze. John, he brung 'em in by the fire, but it's no good; they die, anyway.
