Want me to call you at five-thirty, Jord?
gpt
No, thanks, he had replied.
human
I'll not miss it.
gpt
A fellow might lie awake so long thinking about it that he'd go off into a sound sleep just before daylight, and sleep right through his early morning appointment, urged his loyal friend.
human
Better let me--
gpt
Oh, you go on to bed!
human
No gratitude to one who has brought all this to pass, eh?
gpt
Heaps of it. But this evening has been rather a facer.
human
Not at all. There were a dozen times when you might have rushed in and got a little quiet place all to yourself, with only the stars looking on. Plenty of openings.
gpt
I didn't see 'em. You were always in the way.
human
I was! Well, I like that. Had to be ordinarily attentive to my hostess, hadn't I? It wasn't for me to take shy little boys by the hand and lead them up to the little girls they fancied.
gpt
I don't want to be led up by the hand, thank you. Good-night!
