Mr. Merrihew has been telling me all about you,
gpt
You mean, of course, my good qualities,
human
To hear him talk, one would think that you possessed nothing else. But I am sure that you have glaring faults, such as a man might pass over and a woman go round.
gpt
I believed that Merrihew had a serious fault till to-night,
human
Has the foolish boy been telling you that I refused to marry him? I like him very much, she added gravely;
gpt
I understand,
human
I am not a whit less extravagant than he is. How could the two of us live on an income which he himself admits that he can not live within? But that isn't it; a million would not make any difference. I am like a young colt; I have no desire to be harnessed yet. A month after I am gone he will forget all about me; or, at least, he will only recollect me with a sigh of relief. There will be others; only I hope they will treat him as frankly as I have done.
gpt
Merrihew is the most loyal man I know,
human
Of course he is loyal! And he is always in earnest--for the moment. She laughed.
gpt
But if he marries any one while I am gone, I shall hate him.
human
I'll wager another magnum, cried Merrihew from across the room,
gpt
Another magnum!
human
No more magnums,
gpt
On abstract principles, then!
human
You win, Kitty replied merrily.
gpt
We have been saying only nice things about you.
