Hetta, wherever have you been?
gpt
Mamma, she said,
human
I mean to write to Mr. Montague and tell him that I have been unjust to him.
gpt
Hetta, you must do nothing of the kind,
human
Yes, mamma. I have been unjust, and I must do so.
gpt
It will be asking him to come back to you.
human
Yes, mamma:--that is what I mean. I shall tell him that if he will come, I will receive him. I know he will come. Oh, mamma, let us be friends, and I will tell you everything. Why should you grudge me my love?
gpt
You have sent him back his brooch,
human
He shall give it me again. Hear what I have done. I have seen that American lady.
gpt
Mrs. Hurtle!
human
Yes;--I have been to her. She is a wonderful woman.
gpt
And she has told you wonderful lies.
human
Why should she lie to me? She has told me no lies. She said nothing in his favour.
gpt
I can well believe that. What can any one say in his favour?
human
But she told me that which has assured me that Mr. Montague has never behaved badly to me. I shall write to him at once. If you like I will show you the letter.
gpt
Any letter to him, I will tear,
human
Mamma, I have told you everything, but in this I must judge for myself.
