Indeed! he replied;
gpt
Really? said Mrs. Edmonstone.

A few hundred acres of hills and heather, and a barn called by courtesy 'Castle'; those are my feudal possessions. The scenery is gorgeous, but the land--is a caution!
gpt
Barren?
human
As Riverina in a drought.
gpt
And the tenants?
human
Oh, as to the tenants, we hit it off pretty well. It's in North Kerry they're lively. I'm in the south, you see, and there they're peaceable enough. Laziness is their worst crime. I do all I can for 'em, but I don't see how I can hold on much longer.

Evict?
human

I'd rather emigrate, and take the whole boiling of them with me; take up new country, and let them select on it. Dick, you savage, don't laugh; I'm not joking. I've thought about it often.
human

gpt
Shouldn't mind, madam,

No more should I!
