Well done, Algitha, cried Ernest, laughing;
gpt
I like to hear you speak out. Now tell me frankly: supposing you married quite young, before you had had much experience; supposing you afterwards found that you and your husband had both been deceiving yourselves and each other, unconsciously perhaps; and suppose, when more fully awakened and developed, you met another fellow and fell in love with him genuinely, what would you do?
human
Oh, she would just mention it to her husband casually, Fred interposed with a chuckle,
gpt
I should certainly not go through terrific emotions and self-accusations, and think the end of the world had come, said Algitha serenely.
human
I should calmly face the situation.
gpt
Calmly! She by supposition being madly in love!
human
Calmly, repeated Algitha.
gpt
And I should consider carefully what would be best for all concerned. If I decided, after mature consideration and self-testing, that I ought to leave my husband, I should leave him, as I should hope he would leave me, in similar circumstances. That is my idea of right.

And is this also your idea of right, Miss Fullerton?

human
If you had been brought up in the bosom of this Society, Miss Temperley, you too, perhaps, would have come to this. Think of it!
gpt
Does your mother know what sort of subjects you discuss?
human
Mother used often to come into the nursery and surprise us in hot discussion on the origin of evil,
gpt
Don't you believe what she says, Miss Temperley, cried Fred;
human
Her failure with my brothers, was in the department of manners,
gpt
Then she does _not_ know what you talk about?
human
You ask her,
gpt
She never attends our meetings,
human
Well, well, I cannot understand it! cried Miss Temperley.
gpt
However, you don't quite know what you are talking about, and one mustn't blame you.
human
No, don't, urged Fred;
gpt
Shut up!
human
Oh, you are a coarse-grained exception; I speak of the family average,
