Well, said her uncle grimly, as she returned.
gpt
Well? she answered, in the same tones, her eagle nose more prominent, her awful eyes more stony than ever.
human
She has escaped! and is even now at the bookseller's.
gpt
The devil!
human
You may well say so. Thomas Lang has sold you. Simon does not know particulars, for our friend Cole was earnest in inquiries.
gpt
Is it too late to go into the city now?
human
Yes, and you are too cowardly to face 'ills you know not of' alone. Let me see; the lower class are awed by pomp and show. We will drive into Windsor Terrace in the morning in the carriage and pair. If Lang has sold you, you must buy him, by letting him have the house at his own figure. Again, should she have escaped without his connivance, be prepared by selling everything you can. You, as guardian to my sweet step-sister, have unlimited powers until our pet is of age, which interesting event, they don't seem to know, has taken place. Rake in all the gold you can, uncle, as the United States looks inviting at present; to-morrow will be a busy day, Aunt Elizabeth, so you might tell cook to have breakfast an hour earlier. Good night.

She is every inch a Stone, Elizabeth, and not a bit like her chicken-hearted father.
human
That's true, Timothy, but she grows plainer every day, and looks nearly as old as I do.

Yes, she is no Hebe; but had the blooming goddess been possessed of her wits, she would have blind-folded Jupiter.
