Why did you come back, honey?
gpt
I didn't want to go, Charlotte said, simply.
human
I wasn't happy going away and leaving you alone, papa. I want to stay here with you, and if you have to leave Banbridge I will go with you. I don't mind at all not having much to get along with. I can get along with very little.
gpt
You would have been more comfortable with the others, dear,

You are not eating anything, papa, said Charlotte.
gpt
Isn't the beefsteak cooked right?
human
It is cooked beautifully, honey; just right. All is. I am glad to see you come back. You don't just know what it means to me, dear, but I am afraid--
gpt
I am not, said she.

Talk about comfort--isn't this comfort? Please _do_ eat the beefsteak, papa.
