Did she say anything? he asked. Then Marie had to take her place and arrange her dress before she could reply to him.
gpt
As to her, I suppose it does not matter what she says, does it?
human
She said a great deal. She thinks that papa will think you are not rich enough. Hush! Talk about something else, or people will hear.
gpt
Have you been riding?
human
No; I don't think there are horses here,--not for visitors, that is. How did you get home? Did you have any adventures?
gpt
None at all, said Felix, remembering Ruby Ruggles.
human
I just rode home quietly. I go to town to-morrow.
gpt
And we go on Wednesday. Mind you come and see us before long.
human
Of course I shall. I suppose I'd better go to your father in the city. Does he go every day?
gpt
Oh yes, every day. He's back always about seven. Sometimes he's good-natured enough when he comes back, but sometimes he's very cross. He's best just after dinner. But it's so hard to get to him then. Lord Alfred is almost always there; and then other people come, and they play cards. I think the city will be best.
human
You'll stick to it?
gpt
Oh, yes;--indeed I will. Now that I've once said it nothing will ever turn me. I think papa knows that.
