I thought so, said he.
gpt
This is no guest-room. This is your room.
human
Oh, no, dear. My place is downstairs, with you--unless--you don't want me there.
gpt
This is your room, he repeated.
human
It's easy enough to recognize it. It looks just like you. I've been uncomfortable about you downstairs, whenever I had to leave you. You'll be safe here, with every window wide open.
gpt
It will be easy enough to have an extension of the telephone brought up here, he added--and found her arms about his neck. But she shook her head.
human
Don't settle it so quickly,
gpt
You said there was another guest-room, he reminded her presently.
human
The bachelor's room. Is it next door?
gpt
The jolliest room for the purpose I ever saw, he confessed.
human
And I know the bachelor who will sleep in it. He's downstairs now, in the small room out of ours.
gpt
Bob? Why, Red--
human
We'll have a door cut through. The telephones shall be in there, then they won't disturb you. They won't bother Bob a minute. And when I come in at 2 a.m. I can slip in here, shove the boy over against the wall, and be asleep in two minutes.
gpt
Red! All my preparations for the bachelor! The desk,--the reading-light by the bed--
human
They suit me admirably. I never saw a better arrangement. The two rooms together make a perfect suite--when the door is cut through.
gpt
And where will you put our guests? There's only one more room on this floor, of any size.
human
Let's go and see.
