Ah!
gpt
Where did you catch him?
human
To-day!
gpt
To-morrow!
human
Eight o'clock?
gpt
Yes, indeed!
human
If father will let me,
gpt
Yes, in a moment, wait!
human
Father, they are going to have a fox-hunt to-morrow--Orange Grove, you know--meet at eight o'clock. Mr. Payne bought the fox from a colored boy to-day, he has it out at his house. They are going to turn it loose on the hill. It's a big red fox, he says.
gpt
Great Heavens! You don't want to go?
human
Frances, you know, since--
gpt
Starlight did behave dreadfully that time,
human
Starlight!
gpt
Suppose I ask Mr. Payne to let me have a mount?
human
Daughter, the father was speaking quite sternly,
gpt
You might drive out to the meet,
human
I'll order the trap right now!
gpt
Now, it's late! began the professor, not liking to be taken so literally at his word.
human
I don't think there is any one at the stables.
gpt
Mr. Payne telephoned from there; I told him to wait a moment. I'll try again.
human
Is Mr. Carver there? Yes! So glad! and then, after a minute's wait,
gpt
Can you send Starlight and the trap up by seven? _Seven?_ Yes! And Mr. Carver, please see that he is hitched up strongly, will you?
human
You don't mind if I drive along the road and follow them a little if I can, do you?
