I had lunch very late to-day, and I did not get home in time for dinner.
gpt
I'm glad you're all right, he said,
human
I'm delighted, she exclaimed.
gpt
Do tell me all about it.

An uncle in New York is dead, and has left him loads of money. A lawyer has come all the way from America about it. We want to celebrate, and we want you to help us. Brendon suggests supper at the Carlton. We meant to make it dinner and a theatre, but you were not home. We thought of starting in half an hour's time, and trying for a theatre somewhere on the way.

How delightful! exclaimed Anna.
gpt
I should love to come. It is very sweet of you to have waited for me. Run away now, please. I must see if I have a gown fit to wear.
human
This, Anna declared, as she sipped her wine and looked around her,
gpt
And the people? Brendon asked.
human
What do you think of them?
gpt
What can one say? she exclaimed.

Did you ever see women so weary-looking and so dowdy? They do not talk. They seem to spend their time yawning and inspecting their neighbour's dresses through those hateful glasses. It never seems to enter their heads to try and amuse their menkind.
