I call it a milk-room because that's its name,
gpt
But _why_ is that its name? persisted Fairy.
human
You keep everything else here as well as milk. Why don't you call it the butter-room or the pie-room?
gpt
Oh, I don't know. Don't pester me so with your questions. Here's a cookie; now I'll take you in the house, and show you the best room, and then you must go home. I don't like to have little girls around very much. Come along, but don't eat your cookie in the house; you'll make crumbs. Put it in your pocket until you get out of doors again.
human
I won't pester, said Fairy;
gpt
By yourself! I guess you won't! Do you suppose I want a great girl like you rampoosing around my house! I've seen you fly around! You'd upset everything.
human
I expect I would, Mrs. Hickox, said Fairy, laughing.
gpt
I just certainly can't sit still; it gives me the widgets.
human
I guess I won't take you into the best room after all, then. Like as not you'd knock the doves over.
gpt
Oh, do let me go! What are the doves? I'll promise not to knock them over, and I'll hold Mike tight so she can't get away. Oh, come, oh, come; show me the best room!
