Do you know, Felix, I think I shall go down to your cousin Roger for Whitsuntide.
gpt
To Carbury Manor! said he, as he eat some devilled kidneys which the cook had been specially ordered to get for his breakfast.
human
I thought you found it so dull that you didn't mean to go there any more.
gpt
I never said so, Felix. And now I have a great object.
human
What will Hetta do?
gpt
Go too--why shouldn't she?
human
Oh; I didn't know. I thought that perhaps she mightn't like it.
gpt
I don't see why she shouldn't like it. Besides, everything can't give way to her.
human
Has Roger asked you?
gpt
No; but I'm sure he'd be pleased to have us if I proposed that we should all go.
human
Not me, mother!
gpt
Yes; you especially.
human
Not if I know it, mother. What on earth should I do at Carbury Manor?
gpt
Madame Melmotte told me last night that they were all going down to Caversham to stay three or four days with the Longestaffes. She spoke of Lady Pomona as quite her particular friend.
human
Oh--h! that explains it all.
gpt
Explains what, Felix?
