Landlord says, 'Keep them out. Wouldn't let them have his house at any price.' He is just riding off to the country and can't help us now. Now I'm going to see Major C, who sent the order.
gpt
Oh! what's this? Then seeing me as he straightened up,
human
Ah, madam! almost stuttering from surprise and anger,
gpt
That would make no difference to me. I'm not the owner. You or the landlord would pay the bill for the repairs.
human
Why didn't you open the door?
gpt
Have I not done so as soon as you rung? A lady does not open the door to men who beat on it. Gentlemen usually ring; I thought it might be stragglers pounding.
human
Well, growing much blander,
gpt
With pleasure, if you have selected a house for me. This is too large; it does not suit me.
human
No, I didn't find a house for you.
gpt
You surely don't expect _me_ to run about in the dust and shelling to look for it, and Mr. L. is too busy.
human
Well, madam, then we must share the house. We will take the lower floor.
gpt
I prefer to keep the lower floor myself; you surely don't expect _me_ to go up and down stairs when you are so light and more able to do it.
human
What room is that? --
gpt
The parlor.
human
And this? --
gpt
My bedroom.
human
And this? --
gpt
The dining-room.
human
Well, madam, we'll find you a house and then come and take this.
gpt
Thank you, colonel. I shall be ready when you find the house. Good morning, sir.
human
We must go back, captain; you see I didn't know they were this kind of people.
