Mein lieber Gott! Mrs. Schuneman rose involuntarily and heavily to her feet.
gpt
It's Mr. Wells!
human
What's this? What's this? Lightning flashed from Mr. Wells' eyes and thunder rumbled in his voice. No wonder everyone was startled.
gpt
Dogs aren't allowed here. Where's Donovan? He shouldn't allow such a nuisance. Run along, boy, and take your dog with you. You aren't allowed here!
human
It isn't his dog. Mary Rose ran in front of him.
gpt
It's my dog and he's come all the way from Mifflin. I wish you'd been here earlier so you could see how smart he is, timidly.
human
He knows such a lot of funny tricks. Jimmie, will you have him do that one--
gpt
Your dog! interrupted Mr. Wells, with a snort, and his fiery eyes seemed to bore a hole right through Mary Rose, who was trying desperately to remember that she had the right kind of eye and could see nothing but good in the cross old man in front of her.
human
You know very well that dogs are not allowed in this house. Take him away, boy, and don't let me see either of you again.
gpt
Oh! Mary Rose's heart was full of indignation. So were her eyes. She was too hurt to be afraid.
human
Aren't you ashamed of yourself, a great big man like you to talk that way to a poor little dog who has come all the way from Mifflin expecting to find friends here? He's my dog and--
gpt
You can't keep him here, he snarled. He was furious at being spoken to in such a fashion by a janitor's child and before a group of young people who did their best to look serious.
human
You haven't any business here yourself. Children and dogs are forbidden in this building.
gpt
Mary Rose! Mary Rose!
human
Why are you always picking at me? she demanded of Mr. Wells.
gpt
I'm only a little girl and you're a big man but never once since I came to Waloo have you looked as if you wanted to be friends with me. I don't mean to be impudent but you--you do make it very hard for me to like you.
