I have a favor to ask,
gpt
I am in a mood which is either indolent or generous. Try me.
human
Of course, she says.
gpt
Then I shall be sure of you as a spectator of the pageant. I was not at all certain you would honor me, since Mrs. Grandon does not participate in Germans.
human
But I think she would like them, he says.
gpt
I suppose disparity in marriages is generally condemned for kindred reasons, one has gone by the heyday of youth, and the other should be in it. Almost I am tempted to try a German. Would Latimer keep me in countenance, I wonder?
human
Yes, she answers.
gpt
And Mrs. Latimer would no doubt take you through the figures. Miss Murray is probably skilled in the art.
human
And I must give a garden party for her. Would Friday answer?
gpt
Too soon, unless--how long does she remain?
human
A week or so. It is possible if Mr. Murray should be charmed with the place he would cast in his lot at Grandon Park.
gpt
Where is Mrs. Murray?
human
There is no Mrs. Murray, and only one daughter. I am not quite equal to the care of young ladies. If Laura were here--so you see I am compelled to trouble my friends.
