Aren’t they the nicest couple?

It is a blessing they are, said Imogene.

You see, Grace will probably succeed to the De Castro fortune, and Larrie is likely sometime to have the Kimberly burdens. It crushes me to think that Charles and I have no children.
gpt
Are you so fond of children?
human
Why, of course, dear; aren’t you?
gpt
Indeed I am, too fond of them. I lost my only child, a baby girl----

And you never have had another?
gpt
No.

If Robert would marry, we should have a family hope there, continued Imogene.
gpt
But I am afraid he never will. How did you enjoy your evening at The Towers?
human
We had a delightful time.
gpt
Isn’t Robert a good host? I love to see him preside. And he hasn’t given a dinner before for years.
human
Why is that?
gpt
It is a long story, dear, a tragedy came into his life--into all our lives, in fact. It changed him greatly.
