Have you seen him?
gpt
Oh yes. You shall see him too, from my window, if they will but talk on till we get there. He and the Commissary, and some of the Commissary's officers, are in the rose-garden under my window. Make haste, or they may be gone.
human
We must see grandpapa settled first.
gpt
Oh yes; but I am so afraid they may be gone! They have been pacing the alley between the rose-trees this hour nearly--talking and arguing all the time. I am sure they were arguing; for they stopped every now and then, and the Commissary made such gestures! He looked so impatient and so vexed!
human
And did _he_ look vexed, too?
gpt
Not in the least angry, but severe. So quiet, so majestic he looked, as he listened to all they said! and when he answered them--Oh, I would not, for all the island, have his eyes so set upon me!
human
Oh dear, let us make haste, or they will be gone!
