As you won't give me credit, said Mrs. Wentworth,

I thought you may be willing to loan me some money if I gave a security for its payment.
gpt
Vat kind of security?
human
I have, at my room, a bedstead I purchased from you some time ago, she replied.
gpt
Will you lend a small sum of money on it?
human
No he answered.
gpt
I am not a pawnbroker.
human
But you might accommodate a destitute mother, remarked Mrs. Wentworth.
gpt
You have refused to give me credit, and now I ask you to loan me a small sum of money, for the payment of which I offer security.
human
I cannot do it, he answered.

Why you can sell again, replied Mrs. Wentworth.

It will always find a purchaser, particularly now that the price of everything has increased so largely.
