Oh, now you think I'm the ignorant young man, he retorted.
gpt
You think I don't know that you couldn't go with me alone. (Of course, so far as that's concerned you _could_--all the smart girls, dukes' and earls' daughters, do)--but I have not invited you to. My mother's coming with us.
human
Your mother?
gpt
Yes. Naturally she's anxious to meet you.
human
Why should your mother wish to meet me?
gpt
Oh, he answered.
human
Don't you realise that I'm an only son?
gpt
What's that got to do with it?
human
Most mothers want to know the girl their son's going to marry, don't you think?
gpt
But her sons aren't going to marry me.
human
No, but her son is. I am. Oh, yes, he went on before she could speak.
gpt
We shan't be married this winter, of course, but in the spring we shall. You may choose a nice month. It'll be a proud day for you, my dear, and jolly lucky you'll be to get me!
human
No thanks, we must go in now. I've got a lot to do. My father's not very well, and I may have to go down to Torquay to look after him if he doesn't get better.
