I’ve been to sleep,
gpt
Yes, I know. I wasn’t going to have you disturbed. They’re all here.
human
Who are all here?
gpt
Clara and the children. Auntie asked to see all of them. They waited in the drawing-room for Mr. Flowerdew to go. Bert didn’t go to school this morning, in case--because it was so far off. Clara fetched the others out of school, except Rupy of course--he doesn’t go--

Good heavens! I never came across such a morbid lot in my life. I believe they like it.

You’d better go up,
human
I’d better go to the works--I’m no use here. What time is it?
gpt
After eleven. I think you’d better go up.
human
Does she ask for me?
gpt
Oh yes. All the time sometimes. But she forgets for a bit.

Well, anyhow I must wash myself and change my collar.
gpt
All right. Wash yourself, then.
human
How is she now?
gpt
She isn’t taking anything.
