Now, John, you be a very good boy, and give your sister Betsy no trouble while I am gone to see your Aunt Charlotte, and may be I will bring you back a Noah's ark.
gpt
I am so tired. I do want mother to come home and bring me the nice present she promised. O how glad I shall be to have a Noah's ark!
human
Mother, have you brought the present you promised?
gpt
What present, my boy?
human
Noah's ark, mother.
gpt
Did I promise to buy you Noah's ark? Are you not mistaken?
human
You said _may be_ you would do it; and I expected you would.
gpt
But _may be_, my dear, is not a promise.
human
Let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay; for whatsoever is more than this cometh of evil.
gpt
The promises of God are all YEA.
human
I beg pardon, sir; but pray what were you speaking about just now?
