Have you anything special to do, Tom? asked the eccentric man.
gpt
If you haven't I wish you'd take a ride with me. Not for mere pleasure! Bless my excursion ticket, don't think that, Tom!
human
I know better than to ask you out for a pleasure jaunt. But I have become interested in a certain candy-making machine that a man over in Newmarket is anxious to sell me a share in, and I'd like to get your opinion. Can you run over?
gpt
Yes, Tom answered.
human
As it happens I am going to Newmarket myself.
gpt
Oh, I forgot about Mary Nestor being there! laughed Mr. Damon.
human
Sly dog, Tom! Sly dog!
gpt
It isn't altogether Mary. Though I am going to see her, Tom admitted.

It has to do with a little apparatus I am getting up. I can capture several birds in the same auto, so I'll go along.
