You have the good points of several women rolled into one, Leah,
gpt
That polite speech means much, coming from a man of your experience, my dear Jim. What good point of Mrs. Penworthy's have I annexed?
human
You're jealous!
gpt
Horribly! You are so deeply attached to that bundle of faded chiffon.
human
I don't care two straws for her.
gpt
Appearances are misleading, then. But, added Leah, remembering Askew's eulogy,
human
I don't know why you should say that,
gpt
You may know before long,
human
I don't know what you're talkin' about, said Kaimes, with unaffected surprise,
gpt
Ah! Did the Duke's lecture give you an appetite?
human
Leah! Jim became so serious as to look almost intelligent.
gpt
My father is the best man who ever wore shoe-leather.
human
He is usually condemned to cloth boots for gouty feet, murmured Leah, patting the back of her head.
gpt
So you've pulled the wool over his eyes again?
human
I wish you wouldn't use slang,
gpt
I can't pretend to vie with Mrs. Penworthy's purity of speech, my dear man. How much have you got out of the Duke?
human
Well, he hasn't given me money----
gpt
Oh!
human
Ah!
gpt
I wish you'd let me speak, cried Kaimes, testily,
human
My father has promised to pay all the debts----
gpt
Good heavens! Is he aware of the amount?
human
Wait, I've not finished. He'll pay the debts, and reduce our income to a thousand a year till he recoups himself.
gpt
Really! I thought you had seen your father, and not a money-lender. Have you accepted this most generous offer?
human
Yes, I have,
gpt
I see. It's to be Bayswater after all, James.
human
If you talk like that, I'll go down to dinner without you.
gpt
By all means. You've taken away my appetite.
