It can't be twelve,
gpt
Yes, it is. We must defer further study till to-morrow.

Why, it is a great deal pleasanter than going to school, Miss Linden. I dreaded studying at home, but now I like it.
gpt
I hope you will continue to, Carrie. I can say that the time has passed away pleasantly for me.
human
Oh, I forgot! Mamma asked me to invite you to stay to lunch with me. I take lunch as soon as school is out, at twelve o'clock, so I won't detain you long.
gpt
Thank you, Carrie; I will stay with pleasure.
human
I am glad of that, for I don't like to sit down to the table alone. Mamma is never here at this time. She goes out shopping or making calls, so poor I have to sit down to the table alone. It will be ever so much pleasure to have you with me.
