This is Miss Lawless, I presume?
gpt
Yes, madam, this is my daughter; and I consider it my duty to tell you beforehand that I am afraid she will occasion you a great deal of trouble.
human
Oh! I hope not! You are a good little girl--are you not, my dear? --with a sweet smile to Pet.
gpt
In what way, may I ask, my dear sir?
human
In many ways, madam. She is, in the first place, unbearably wild, and rude, and self-willed, and--I regret to say--disobedient.

I think I have tamed far more desperate characters than this; in fact, I may say I know I have. Oh! I will have no trouble with your little girl! Why, she is one of the quietest looking little creatures I think I ever saw.
