Now we can go skating, can't we, Grandpa? asked Sunny Boy eagerly.
gpt
I thought Nelson stayed ever so long.
human
Why, Sunny Boy, how impolite you are! cried his mother.
gpt
That isn't a nice thing to say. Suppose you should go to see Nelson and he should spend the time wishing you would go home--how would you feel?
human
Well, he can come back after I go skating, he suggested.

Grandpa promised we could go this afternoon, Mother.
human
So I did; and we'll start this minute, declared Grandpa Horton, coming out into the hall and smiling at his small grandson.

Who ever heard of a little boy with a brand-new pair of skates and ice on the pond, not going skating, Olive? Sunny Boy is just as polite as he ever was, Olive, but we have to go skating, whether we have company or not.

Oh, Father, how you do spoil Sunny Boy!
