I don't know what you mean, Anna,
gpt
I mean nothing, dear, she said.

There is no more to worry about now than there has been all along. People get on somehow. We are in the world, and we have our right here, and if we knock over a few people to keep our footholds, I don't know that we are to blame. It is nothing, Amy. I have felt wretched for a few days, and it has affected my spirits. Don't mind anything I have said. We shall leave Banbridge before long, and, as you say, we shall get on better.
gpt
I guess it is because you don't feel well that you are looking on the dark side of things so, said she.
human
You will feel better to go out and have a drive.
gpt
Perhaps I shall,
human
We shall go for a long drive. There will be plenty of time, it is so early. How lovely it would be if we had our automobile, wouldn't it, Anna? Then we could go any distance. Wouldn't it be lovely?

Very,

Say, Amy, he cried,
gpt
Eddy, dear, cried Mrs. Carroll,
human
A shindy, then. What difference does it make? Martin he won't harness, because he hasn't been paid. He just sits on a chair in the door and whittles a stick, and don't say anything, and he won't harness.
gpt
We have simply got to have an automobile,
human
How do you know it is because he hasn't been paid, Eddy?
gpt
Because he said so; before he wouldn't say anything, and began whittling. Papa stands there talking to him, but it don't make any difference.
human
With an automobile it wouldn't make any difference, said Mrs. Carroll.
gpt
An automobile doesn't have to be harnessed. I don't see why Arthur doesn't get one.
human
What are you laughing at, Anna? said she, with a little tone of injury.
gpt
I don't see anything very funny. It is a lovely day, and I wanted to go to drive, and it would do you good. I don't see why people act so because they are not paid. I didn't think it of Martin.
human
I'll go out and see if he has stirred yet,
