What am I to do with this, Kitty? Jack asked, lifting a table.
gpt
Amanda says it stays here. Is that right?
human
In other words, I'm not to be depended upon, Amanda said, laughing.
gpt
I told him that table was for the favors, and had to stay where it was.

That's true, Jack, Kitty called from the porch, where she and Ferren were struggling with rugs and Indian blankets.
gpt
Amanda's perfectly dependable. That's her one accomplishment--making the truth go as far as possible!

Next time you'll take orders direct, and save time, won't you? Isn't it a lark, getting ready for a party? Oh, would you please straighten out these chairs? They have to go all round the room--so! Then perhaps you'd help Debby with the favors. They are in that box by the window. Kitty got the sweetest things in Boston. I do hope some nice man will present me with a pink fan. I'm pining for one for my new gown.

I shall try to remember, Jack promised humbly.

Pink, did you say?
