Your aunt says we are to come up at once.
gpt
I'm ready. And it will be a good excuse for you to knock off work. I bet you're glad I came! Does the carriage await or shall we take the subway?
human
I guess it will be quicker to take the subway. Your aunt's very surprised that you are here, and very pleased.
gpt
I'm making everybody happy to-day.
human
You're registering something, uncle Pete, and I don't know what it is. Why the glance?
gpt
I was just thinking of something.
human
Jimmy,
gpt
Eh?
human
Add the word Jimmy to your remarks. It will help me to feel at home and enable me to overcome my shyness.
gpt
Shyness! If I had your nerve--! He broke off with a sigh and looked at Jimmy affectionately.
human
What I was thinking was that you're a good boy. At least, you're not, but you're different from that gang of--of--that crowd up-town.
gpt
What crowd?
human
Your aunt is literary, you know. She's filled the house with poets and that sort of thing. It will be a treat having you around. You're human! I don't see that we're going to make much of you now that you're here, but I'm darned glad you've come, Jimmy!
gpt
Put it there, uncle Pete! said Jimmy.
human
You're all right. You're the finest Captain of Industry I ever met!
