You know, Sally, he said,
gpt
I know all that, Fox, Sally interrupted, a little impatiently. She had had it pretty thoroughly drummed into her.
human
I know all that, and it doesn't make any difference whether I think so or not. I see that it's the best thing for us all that Charlie and I should go, and we will go. That's settled. But you will write to me often, and let me know how mother gets along--and tell me the news, won't you?
gpt
Why, of course I am going to, Fox cried with emphasis.
human
What did you think--that we were going to let you slip away from us suddenly, altogether? Not much. I'm going to write you every blessed week. And see that you answer my letters every week, too.
gpt
I will,
human
Bless your heart!
gpt
And where do I come in? he asked.
human
Aren't you going to promise to write me, too? Your mother will be at my sanitarium and I have a good mind to give orders that Fox Sanderson is to be told nothing about her. Then you would have to get your information from me.
gpt
I didn't s'pose you'd care to have me, you're so busy. Sally was pleased.
human
But I'd love to, Doctor, I'd love to. Do you really want me to?
gpt
If you don't, I'll never forgive you. I'm a very cruel man, and that is the only way to insure good treatment for your mother. You'd better, Sally.
human
It'll be your own fault if you get too many letters. But you needn't answer them, if you don't have time.
gpt
We'll see. We'll see. I guess I shall manage to find a few minutes, now and then, to write to Miss Sally Ladue.
