human
Yes, continued the chaplain,
gpt
A bishop?
human
Yes, indeed; there is no doubt that the dean will have the first bishopric that becomes vacant. I have heard it publicly mentioned.
gpt
No, really! I should never have thought of it, said Fanny.
human
But you are quite right. Won't he look noble with his imposing figure and white hair, and the gold cross shining on his breast? It is a pity ours is not a cathedral town; a bishop is really so interesting. For instance, in 'Leonardo.' Madeleine, have you ever seen a bishop?
gpt
What were you asking, Fanny?
human
Will you be so good as to go and get a cup for Mr. Delphin?
gpt
Is he coming in?
human
Yes. But I have not given you leave to go, Mr. Martens; we were getting on so nicely.
gpt
Now, in your position as clergyman, you really must assist us to effect Mr. Delphin's conversion.
human
No necessity! no necessity, I assure you, Mrs. Garman, said Delphin, gaily.
gpt
My conversion is already about as perfect as it can be. Mr. Johnsen and I have been conversing on the subject in a most serious manner for the last half-hour.
human
We were also talking on religious subjects,
gpt
Have you just left Mr. Johnsen?
human
I walked with him a little way on the road to Sandsgaard. It appears that he had an invitation to go there,
gpt
To-day, again!
human
Good morning, ladies, good morning! No, you really must allow me. I have already been here longer than I ought. Good morning, Miss Garman.
