Would you be willing to write in my autograph album, Mr. Randolph?
gpt
Yes, I will do so with pleasure,
human
I shall be proud of such pretty writing,
gpt
You embarrass me,
human
I don't see why,
gpt
Well, I am not accustomed to compliments, especially from--er----
human
From young girls,
gpt
Thank you, returned Herbert;
human
I was hesitating whether to say 'girls' or 'young ladies.'
gpt

human
We don't want Ray to become a young lady too soon.
gpt
I don't blame you,
human
Why, Mr. Randolph, said Ray, shaking her dainty finger at him,
gpt
I believe I would not have asked you to write in my album if I had supposed you would say that.
human
Well, it is not too late yet, for you see I have not touched the book with the pen,
gpt
Oh, but I would not want to disappoint you. You know you said it would give you pleasure to do so.
human
So it would, but I would rather sacrifice this pleasure than feel that you would be sorry you had given me the invitation.
