Let me see that!
gpt
Happy little family!
human
I thought so! she cried.
gpt
The third time this summer! When is this going to end? Where's the story?
human
My dear, what's the use? said her husband tremblingly.
gpt
It would only anger you.
human
Be quiet! she cried.
gpt
I will see it. Where is it?
human
Bought a new suit at an immigrant outfitters! I see he has it on. Got into a row with a fruit-vendor over a penny change. Rescued by a young man and taken home. Made his rescuer pay the fares on the trolley. Oh, this is rich, rich! she cried, trembling with anger.
gpt
This is the best story yet. This will be meat and drink to the populace! And this is what they're going to send to the _Social Register_, to everybody I know. It's enough to make me wish I'd died before I took the name of Deaves!
human
My dear, we are not alone!
gpt
Do you think anything can be hidden in this house? she said.
human
The men-servants are listening at the door.
gpt
Well, if you can't control your avaricious tendencies you'll have to pay, she said.
human
Send to the bank and get the money so George can take it to them.
gpt
Pay! Pay! Pay! That's all anybody asks of me! cried the old man in a passion.
human
Five thousand dollars! None of you know what that means. Money to you is like the winds of Heaven that come and go. But _I_ know what five thousand dollars is. For I have saved it up dollar by dollar at the cost of my sweat and self-denial. And will I give it up to these scoundrels, these sewer rats who threaten me? No! I'd as lief give them my blood!
gpt
You'll pay! she cried,
human
And where will you go? sneered the old man.
gpt
Back to share your father's genteel poverty?
human
Who made him poor? she cried.
gpt
Who robbed him?
human
Maud, I beg of you--!
gpt
Who are you?
human
I'm the young man who paid the fares,
gpt
I have been engaged to accompany Mr. Deaves on his walks hereafter.
human
Oh, locking the stable door after the horse is stolen, she sneered.
gpt
He needs a keeper. She indicated the typewritten sheets.
human
Then you were present at this affair?
gpt
I was.
human
Is this story true?
gpt
I have not seen it.
