May I speak to you? replied Amy, unheeding his question.
gpt
Pray don't be angry with me.
human
What! secrets! exclaimed Lord Rochford;
gpt
She is very ill indeed, answered Amy;
human
It is a bad business, said Lord Rochford.
gpt
I wonder Mr Harrington ever trusted such a young creature as Miss Morton.
human
Oh! indeed, answered Amy;
gpt
Miss Morton did not leave her--at least I don't think she did. It was that I wanted to speak about,
human
We are old friends now, he said, with a smile;
gpt
Not now, exclaimed Mr Cunningham, in surprise;
human
Yes, replied Amy;
gpt
she continued, speaking very quickly,
human
What do you think? said Mr Cunningham.
gpt
Had they anything to do with it?
human
I don't know, replied Amy;
gpt
I am not sure that I entirely understand what you mean, said Mr Cunningham.
human
Let me hear again what you wish me to do.
gpt
If you would go to Miss Cunningham, repeated Amy,
human
And will they not talk plainly?
gpt
They would only say a little, answered Amy;
human
I am afraid, she said,
gpt
You have been right--quite right, replied Mr Cunningham.
human
But I must see Lucy directly: where shall I find her?
gpt
She is in her bedroom, I believe, said Amy.
human
She will think me very unkind.
gpt
You need not be afraid, he answered.
human
No one shall think anything of you but what is right and good. You must not let Miss Morton go till you have seen me again.
gpt
Well, Amy, she exclaimed,
human
Nothing, replied Amy;
gpt
Oh Amy! how could you be so bold? If I had been ever so great a favourite, I never could have done such a thing as that.
human
I could do anything for Miss Morton, replied Amy.
gpt
But, Dora, do tell me how Rose is.
human
Very much the same. Mamma is becoming dreadfully anxious; she can think of nothing else: if she could, I would have made one more effort for poor Emily. I wished we had asked her just now, when we were with her, to tell us everything just as she told mamma, for I am sure mamma did not half understand it. I did not think of it at the time, for it all seemed to have happened so suddenly, and everything was so confused.
gpt
Supposing we were to go now, said Amy:
human
I am sure she must wonder what has become of us.
gpt
I am afraid I cannot, replied Dora;
human
I will beg her to repeat the story, if you think it would be any good,
gpt
I am afraid that nothing would make mamma listen to anything from us now, replied Dora:
human
I would give anything to know what he has been saying since we have been here,
gpt
You will know in a few minutes, if it is anything good, said Dora.
human
But I wish you would go now, and give poor Emily a little hope: and you may tell her that Rose has not been worse within the last quarter of an hour.
