I remember, she assented with returning cordiality.
gpt
I was very proud to listen that night.
human
Lambert is a brilliant fellow.
gpt
So I sit here? continued Kimberly patiently.
human
Who sits next to you?
gpt
Your brother.
human
Charles always had the luck of the family.
gpt
Come in, Bell, said Alice.
human
What is it?
gpt
The juggler, Mrs. MacBirney; his assistant has telephoned they’ve missed their train.
human
Oh, Bell! exclaimed his mistress in indignant protest.
gpt
Don’t tell me that.
human
And it’s the last out, till ten-thirty o’clock.
gpt
That ends my evening. Isn’t it _too_ exasperating. Stupid jugglers!
human
What train did he miss, Bell?
gpt
The seven-ten, sir, from town.
human
Why don’t you call up the division superintendent and ask his office to stop the eight-ten?
gpt
I might do that, sir.
human
Oh, can you?
gpt
You ought to have done it without being told, Bell, observed Kimberly.
human
You’ve done such things before.
gpt
Might I use your name, sir?
human
Use whatever is necessary to get him. And ask them to hunt up the juggler in the waiting-room and put him aboard. Who is he?
gpt
A China boy, sir, I understand.
human
In that case, they could not miss him.
gpt
Do you think they will do it?
human
Don’t give it further thought. We could get him out on a special if necessary.
gpt
There are guests.
human
By-the-way, added Kimberly, pointing to the card on his cover and that on his brother’s,
gpt
You will be of more assistance, Mr. Kimberly, if you will not make any change. Mrs. Nelson and Mrs. Morgan are my difficulties and I hoped you would solve them for me.
human
By all means.
gpt
Where are you, Alice? Here are the McCreas, from town, and Doctor Hamilton.
