Before you talk to Herr Widmer about your mule, don't you think that you had better decide absolutely upon your route?
gpt
But, darling, objected Jack,
human
He can't do better than take mine, then, said Molly.
gpt
Lord Lane, _promise_ me you'll take mine and _no_ one's else.
human
Of course I'll promise, I answered recklessly, for her eyes were irresistible, and any man would have been enraptured that so exquisite a creature should interest herself in his fate.

It doesn't much matter to me where I go, so long as I can moon about in the mountains, and eventually, before I'm old and grey, bring up on the Riviera.
human
Well, then, said Molly,
gpt
Might a humble mortal ask, 'Why Aosta?'
human
Because it's beautiful, and beneficent, and a great many other things which begin with B.
gpt
You've never seen it, though,
human
But I've always wanted to see it, and as you and I have another programme to carry out at present, it would be nice if Lord Lane would go, and tell us all about it. He's promised me to keep a sort of diary, for our benefit later.

I saw the Duchess of Aosta married at Kingston-on-Thames, I reflected aloud.
human
She was a very pretty girl. What am I to do after I've made my pilgrimage to her country--about which, by the way, I know practically nothing except that there's a poster in railway stations which represents it as having bright pink mountains and a purply-yellow sky?
gpt
Oh, after Aosta, I've no instructions, replied Molly, as if she washed her hands of me and of my affairs.
human
For the rest, let Fate decide.
