I only meant to be gone just a little while,
gpt
And you were away the whole afternoon. It is a pity the days are so short. And you don't know what you lost.
human
No great, I guess.
gpt
Celia and her mother were here. They stayed all the afternoon.
human
Celia Howard? Did she wonder where I was?
gpt
I don't know. She didn't say anything about it. What a dear little thing she is!
human
And she can say pretty cutting things.
gpt
Oh, can she? Perhaps you'd better run down to the village before dark and take her these flowers.
human
I'm not going. I'd rather you should have the flowers.
