Poor little girl! Carroll said again.
gpt
Did you have to stay here alone all night?
human
No, papa. I stayed just as long as I could, and then I went out, and I ran--
gpt
Where, dear?
human
I ran to--
gpt
I ran to the--Andersons'. You know Mr. Anderson, that time when I was so frightened by the tramp-- You know I stayed there to tea, that-- Mrs. Anderson was very kind,
human
Oh,
gpt
Papa, said she,
human
No, darling,
gpt
But, continued Charlotte,
human
I am never going to leave you, papa, said Charlotte,
gpt
He is a very good man, said Charlotte, in a half-defensive tone.
human
He is the best man I ever saw, except you, papa.
gpt
You are very sure you love him, are you, dear?
human
Why, papa, of course I am! I never could see how Ina could love Major Arms enough to marry him, but I can see how anybody could be glad to marry Mr. Anderson.
gpt
Then I am very glad, sweetheart,
human
His mother is lovely, too,
gpt
That is nice, dear, for I suppose you will live with them.
human
When Amy and the others come back, said Charlotte.
gpt
I am not ever going to leave you, papa. You know it, don't you?
human
Yes, sweetheart,
gpt
Does your head ache now, papa?
human
No, dear.
gpt
But you don't feel well. You are very pale.
human
I feel a little weak, that is all, dear.
gpt
You will feel better when you have had dinner. Mrs. Anderson came home with me, she and her maid, and she gave me some lovely thin slices of ham, and there is an oyster-stew, and some tea. Sit down, papa dear, and we will have dinner right away.
