It is the best place after all, isn't it? said Agnes, looking at her brother, who was holding the door for his sisters to enter. But his hasty,
gpt
Yes, hurry up with tea, girls,
human
Wouldn't it have been delightful if we could have staid at Borden's?
gpt
Indeed it would, was the reply.
human
I don't know when I ever wanted so much to stay. We might often go out for tea if it were not for Guy, and that is one reason I wish we could keep a servant.
gpt
A servant would not be company for him, Ruth, he would not come home at all for tea if we were not here. But if he cared more for our friends he would be more willing to visit with us. I don't think, however men care to be from home at meal-time, and I am so glad Guy is not dissatisfied with our plain way of living, now that he sees so much style and moves in such a refined circle.

gpt
He will be so angry, continued Agnes.
human
O, I wish we had staid at Borden's. Hadn't we better tell him now that we cannot go?
gpt
You can tell him for yourself, Agnes,
human
And you, Ruth?
gpt
I am going.
human
Ruth, you certainly cannot mean it. Going to the theatre and you a Christian, and this is the first day of the year. O, Ruth, remember last night and your covenant.
