I wonder how you do it! he would exclaim.
gpt
Do you have to work awfully hard?
human
Well, it sometimes seems hard, because I didn't used to have to do it. In fact I used to be scolded if I did do it. She laughed.
gpt
I'm not pretending to like being poor.
human
But you took it on fast enough, Mrs. Ledstone. You knew, I mean?
gpt
Oh yes, I knew, and I took it on, as you call it. So I don't complain.
human
I tell you what--some day you and Godfrey must come for a spree with me. Go to Monte Carlo or somewhere, and have a high old time!
gpt
I don't believe I should like Monte Carlo a bit.
human
Not like it? Oh, I say, I bet you would.
gpt
I suppose it's prejudice to condemn even Monte Carlo without seeing it. Perhaps we shall manage to go some day. I think Godfrey would like it.
human
Oh, I took him once, all right, with--with some other friends.
gpt
And all you men gambled like anything, I suppose?
human
Yes, we did a bit.
