You said if you had enough money to buy a partnership in Mr. Dawson's business we might be married at once; that's why I told you about my aunt's legacy.
gpt
That's all right; the legacy'll keep; what's the harm?
human
The harm is--it's not nice of you to make me say so, though--you ought to be--you ought to be flattered.
gpt
I am flattered.
human
You're not! I don't believe you care for me one bit, or--or you'd know I want to be married.
gpt
So you shall be.
human
When?
gpt
Oh, when I've had time enough to find out where I'm standing; say in a month or two.
human
Herbert, you should never have had that two hundred pounds if you hadn't promised me that we should be married at once.
gpt
What do you call at once?
human
Next week.
gpt
Next week! why, that's Easter!
human
Well, why shouldn't we be married at Easter?
gpt
Good gracious! Where do you propose to set up housekeeping? in my rooms?
human
Not necessarily in your rooms; but in some rooms--nice rooms, for the present; they needn't be just about here. I've money enough to go on with--plenty of money; and you might think over what you've been talking about, and come to a decision, while--while we're on our honeymoon.
