I really am frightfully sorry, she apologised, as she handed him his tea.
gpt
I had no idea I was so wet. You'll have rather a bad ride home.

I suppose, she reflected,

I will tell you Crockford's point of view, Segerson replied.
human
He doesn't exactly understand what your aims are, and wherever he goes he hears nothing but praise of the way you have treated your tenants and the way you have tried to turn them into small landowners. He isn't intelligent enough to realise that there is a principle behind all this. He has simply come to feel that he has a lenient landlord and that he has only to sit still and the plums will drop into his mouth, too. Crockford is one of the weak spots in your system, Lady Jane. There is no place for him or his kind in a self-supporting world.

Don't you think he'll make a good Prime Minister?
gpt
No, I don't, was the curt answer.
human
He is too dark a horse for my fancy.

I expect Mr. Tallente will be ready with his programme when the time comes, she observed.
human
He is a people's man, of course, and his proposals will sound pretty terrible to a good many of the old school. Still, something of the sort has to come.
