No, he said,
gpt
He hasn't enough to eat, Mrs. Anderson said.
human
Harriet does not give him enough to eat. It is a shame. If I were in his place I would get married.
gpt
He says he is tired out teaching. He talks about the friction of so many natures on his.
human
Of course there is a friction, said Mrs. Anderson,
gpt
Shall we ask Harriet?
human
You don't want her asked?
gpt
Why should she be asked? She never is.
human
I don't know but with an extra dinner--
gpt
She has her mission, Mrs. Anderson said, with firmness.
human
You are eating nothing yourself, Randolph. Presently she looked at her son with an inscrutable expression.
gpt
Are the Carrolls all gone?
human
Some of them, I believe,
gpt
I heard Mrs. Carroll and her sister and daughter and the boy all went yesterday morning. Josie Eggleston came in about the Rainy Day Club meeting, this morning, and she told me.
human
They all went except the daughter, I believe,
gpt
The girl who was here?
human
Yes.
gpt
Then she didn't go?
human
She went as far as Lancaster, but she came back?
gpt
Came back?
human
Yes. She didn't want to leave her father alone, and--under a cloud, as he seems to be, and she knew if she declared she was not going there would be opposition--that, in fact, her mother would not go.
gpt
I don't think much of her for going, anyway, said Mrs. Anderson.
human
Leaving her husband all alone. I don't care what he had done, he was her husband, and I dare say he cheated on her account, mostly. She ought not to have gone.
gpt
They wanted her to go; she is not very strong; and the sister is really ill, said Anderson,
human
Why, I should think her mother would be crazy?
gpt
She sent word back, a letter by Eddy. He got off the train with her; the train stopped there a few minutes.
human
Then she came back?
gpt
Yes.
human
And she is going to stay with her father?
gpt
Yes.
human
Oh!
