I shall never forget that scene in the Thiergarten to-day, laughed Nessa.
gpt
You did look so thunderstruck.
human
Nothing to what I felt, I can tell you. I never felt such a fool in my life. Of course I couldn't tell whether she was in earnest or not.
gpt
Nessa laughed and was giggling about it all the way home.
human
I couldn't help it. It was so utterly ridiculous, Rosa. Her 'Oh, my long lost darling!' was just exquisite. And she did it uncommonly well.
gpt
My laughter will have to wait till we're all out of the wood, said Rosa;
human
Yours won't, will it?
gpt
Not a bit of it. Let's laugh while we can. But now what about the workman's card that I need?
human
Oscar's getting it, replied Rosa.
gpt
I told him to lose no time; and after this affair to-day, the sooner you're away, the easier I shall feel. It's getting on my nerves. I'd better go to mother now and calm her down.
human
You'll have me at the wedding, won't you?
gpt
Whose?
human
Why yours, of course.
gpt
Certainly. It couldn't take place without you,
human
Why not? asked Rosa stolidly. Her humour was only Teutonic.
gpt
You don't expect me to be present, I hope?
human
What do you say, Miss Caldicott?
gpt
Oh, don't be ridiculous. Rosa doesn't understand such stupid jokes. Good-night, Herr Lassen.
