You play very well. Where did you learn? Who was your master?
gpt
Don't ask questions, she said.
human
I told you not to ask questions before. Where should I learn, but in America? Do you suppose no one can play the piano, except in England? Look here, she glanced at her cousin.
gpt
Do you, Mr. Arbuthnot, always spend your evenings like this?
human
How like this?
gpt
Why, going around in a swallow tail to drawing-rooms with the women, like a tame tom-cat. If you do, you must be a truly good young man. If you don't, what do you do?
human
Very often I spend my evenings in a drawing-room.
gpt
Oh, Lord! Do most young Englishmen carry on in the same proper way?
human
Why not?
gpt
Don't they go to music-halls, please, and dancing cribs, and such?
human
Perhaps. But what does it concern us to know what some men do?
gpt
Oh, not much. Only if I were a man like you, I wouldn't consent to be a tame tom-cat--that is all; but perhaps you like it.
