But shall we not promise each other that we will never part in anger, even when the separation may not be for an hour? or ever lie down to sleep at night unreconciled, if there has been the slightest misunderstanding or coldness between us?
gpt
Oh, yes, yes, I promise! she cried eagerly;
human
And I join you, dearest, in both wish and promise.
gpt
I am growing very babyish, she said presently with a wistful look up into his face;
human
I can hardly bear to think of being parted from you for a day; and I suppose you'll have to be going off again to attend to that business affair?
gpt
Yes, as soon as I see that my wife is quite well enough to undertake the journey; for I'm not going again without her.
human
Oh, will you take me with you, Ned? she cried joyfully.
gpt
How very good in you.
human
Good to myself, little woman, he said, smiling down at her;
gpt
I call that rank heresy, she said laughing,
human
she added earnestly and with a look of loving admiration.
gpt
I'm very proud of you, my dear--so good and wise and handsome as you are!
human
Oh, hush, hush! such fulsome flattery, he returned, coloring and laughing.
gpt
Let me see; this is Friday, so near the end of the week that I do not care to leave home till next week. We will say Tuesday morning next, if that will suit you, love?
human
Nicely, she answered.
gpt
Oh, I'm so glad you have promised to take me with you!
