Here's one from Beatrice Evanston, observed the latter.
gpt
Did you send her one, Linda?
human
I don't believe I did,
gpt
Aunt Emily! she finally blurted out,
human
Lou and I are planning to go to New York tomorrow, if you are willing.
gpt
Why of course, replied the other, to her niece's surprise.
human
But that's a long trip, and if it's shopping, you can do almost as well in Columbus. Or is it a house-party?
gpt
Neither. Though we are going to stay all night with a girl from school who lives there. But--we're flying.
human
Flying? Oh, Linda, please don't! We're in for a snowstorm, I'm perfectly sure. I do wish you would put that plane away for the winter!
gpt
I can't do that, Aunt Emily. A real pilot has to fly in all kinds of weather. I really need the experience, and the Pursuit is in fine shape.
human
You can't, dear! You'd miss the Evanstons' ball, Beatrice's coming-out party. Why, it's the biggest thing in Spring City--after Kitty's!
gpt
But I had already declined that invitation,
human
You didn't? Oh, Linda, you wouldn't!
gpt
But I did. The day I got home. Louise and I both did. We wanted to reserve this whole week--between Christmas and New Year's--for ourselves, so we turned down everything.
human
I never heard of anything so queer! she exclaimed.
gpt
When you and Louise see each other every day in the year!
human
But this is different. This is a lark together.... Oh, Auntie, please understand! We loved this last week with you and Daddy and our friends, but this is important to us now. You won't be hurt?
gpt
Oh, all right, dear, agreed the older woman with resignation.
human
I suppose it's about as useless to try to keep you out of the air as it would be to keep Lindbergh.... I wish your mother hadn't named you Linda!
