This is our schoolroom,
gpt
Is it? was the reply.
human
It is a nice little place; I think it must be just the size of my governess's sitting-room.
gpt
It does very well, said Dora;
human
My governess's room, continued Miss Cunningham,
gpt
There was a whole set of rooms which was to have been ours, said Dora,
human
My little room, observed Miss Cunningham,
gpt
The tower on Thorwood Hill was thirty miles off, I think. Margaret,
human
Yes, she replied;
gpt
You have no view here,
human
No, answered Dora;
gpt
But when a house stands high, it is very easy to be private, and yet to have beautiful views between the trees.
human
I suppose, said Dora,
gpt
Only the new part; there is one wing which is much older.
human
But the new part was built when your family first went there, was it not?
gpt
Yes; it was built by my grandfather, when he returned from being ambassador to Turkey.
human
I think the newest part of Emmerton has been built at least a hundred and fifty years, said Dora;
gpt
But there is no title in your family now,
human
Indeed there is, replied Dora;
gpt
Lord Doringford is a cousin of ours.
human
Oh! a hundredth cousin, I suppose. Any one may be that; for you know we are all descended from Adam.
gpt
Yes; and of course, that is the reason why people think so much more of a family being an old one, than of a mere title.
human
Do you live here?
