You and Monsieur seemed to be having a nice time while you were coming up the road this afternoon. Does he think you talk good French?
gpt
Oh, yes. He says I'm the only person he's met in America, except Louis and his folks, who speaks it with a decent accent.
human
Do you always talk to him in French?
gpt
Yes, always. He likes it best,
human
But we heard you say something to him in English this afternoon,
gpt
I didn't! I don't remember saying a word in English.
human
Oh, but you _did_! broke in Carol.
gpt
We heard you say: 'Then I'm right? It is the same? I was sure it was.'
human
You horrid things! burst out the Imp.
gpt
Always tracking me around and eavesdropping! You once accused _me_ of that, but I think the tables are turned now.
human
Look here, I said, and I felt downright mad,
gpt
Bobs dear, I said, in as friendly a way as I could,

I can't do it, girls, much as I'm crazy to have that pen. Honest, I can't. I'm not teasing you about it this time, either. I really _have_ discovered something quite important, and it just happened by accident, too. But Monsieur was so upset about it, and asked me so politely not to say anything to any one, that I just feel it wouldn't be right. I think I took him terribly by surprise. I don't know what it all means yet myself. There's something awfully mysterious about things over at Louis's. And really, you've been so decent to me lately that I'd tell you if I could, even without the pen.
