Mr. Guff and myself have decided to take Miss Purry's river-view property off your hands, Mr. Gamble, was the glad tidings she conveyed to him, smiling to share his delight.

We can't think of letting that river view slip by us.

I'm glad to hear it, he announced with gratification, as he thought of Mr. Chase.
gpt
Have you secured the consent of your partners in the option to waive the apartment-house requirements?
human
Oh, no! she ejaculated, shocked that any one should think that possible.

We could take the entire lower floor of the apartment building for ourselves, with a private driveway arched right through it; and we could take the first three floors of the rear part for our own use, with wonderful Venetian balconies overlooking the terraces and the river. The remaining apartments would have entrances on the two front corners, leaving us all the effect of a Venetian palace. Don't you think that's clever?

I can let you have the property for two hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars.
gpt
How much did you say?
human
Two hundred and seventy-five thousand.
gpt
Why, it's an outrage! she puffed.
human
You paid only two hundred and ten thousand for it yesterday.
gpt
I'm not telling you its cost to me yesterday, but its value to-day,
