Now, then, Magsie, give us the Grammar!
gpt
O Tom, it's such a pretty book! she said, as she jumped out of the large armchair to give it him.
human
I could learn Latin very soon. I don't think it's at all hard.
gpt
Oh, I know what you've been doing, said Tom;
human
Here, Magsie, come and hear if I can say this.
gpt
Where do you begin, Tom?
human
Oh, I begin at '_Appellativa arborum_,' because I say all over again what I've been learning this week.
gpt
There, you needn't laugh at me, Tom, for you didn't remember it at all, you see.
human
Phee-e-e-h! I told you girls couldn't learn Latin.
gpt
Very well, then, said Maggie, pouting.
human
I can say it as well as you can. And you don't mind your stops. For you ought to stop twice as long at a semicolon as you do at a comma, and you make the longest stops where there ought to be no stops at all.
gpt
Oh, well, don't chatter. Let me go on.
