It's lovely to see you so happy, darling, she said, more tenderly than she was wont to speak.
gpt
I think Maurice is a real dear, and you've improved him enormously already.
human
He's improved me,
gpt
No, he couldn't do that, darling, said Barbara caressingly.
human
You're perfect as it is. How I do wish I was coming home with you. I did ask Daddy, and he wouldn't let me. I hate being kept here, and I've learnt all the French I want to learn. I'm perfectly miserable here.
gpt
Why, darling? asked Caroline.
human
You were happy enough here before, and it won't be long now before you're at home for good.
gpt
I don't think I shall be much wanted when I do come home,
human
You're the only one of us left at home now to look after Daddy, she ended.
gpt
Of course I shall see him a lot, but I can't be as much with him as you can.
human
I thought Dad would want me when you and B had gone, she said.
gpt
I wanted to begin at once, to be a lot to him. Of course he loves me, but he doesn't want me as he did you and B.
human
Tell me about it, darling,
gpt
I believe he'll marry Ella, she blurted out.
human
She began to worm herself in the moment you had left. And it's going on now. That's what makes me so unhappy, being away.
