Are you in a mood for chess tonight?
gpt
Now, you're not to plague her, Nap, put in Mrs. Errol.
human
She isn't going to spend her last evening amusing you.
gpt
Oh, please, protested Anne.
human
It is your son who has had all the amusing to do.
gpt
There's for you, alma mater!
human
Lady Carfax is much too forbearing to say anything else,
gpt
Lady Carfax always tells the truth, said Nap, beginning to set the chess-board,
human
Well, said Mrs. Errol very deliberately, though without venom,
gpt
I guess that's about the last quality I should expect you to appreciate.
human
Strange to say, it is actually the first just now, said Nap.
gpt
Are you going, alma mater? Don't let me drive you away!
human

gpt
She doesn't like it.
human
Why not?
gpt
You see, the benign mother is not over and above proud of me, he drawled.
human
If it were Bertie now--well, I guess even you will admit that Bertie is the flower of the flock.
gpt
I have yet to discover that you are so very despicable.
human
You have yet to discover--many things, said Nap enigmatically.
gpt
Will you be pleased to make the first move?
