You told Joseph that he needn't come up very early to-morrow, didn't you?
gpt
Yes, as we're pretty well fagged, and Chambéry isn't an all-day's journey, I thought we might take our time in the morning. That suits you, doesn't it?
human
Oh, yes, he answered absentmindedly, as if already his brain were busy with something else.
gpt
What time did you fix for starting? I didn't hear?
human
I said to Joseph that it would do if he were on hand at half-past ten. You can rest till nine o'clock.
gpt
Thank you. And now, good night. You've been very kind to-day. Maybe I didn't seem grateful, but I was, all the same; very, very grateful.
human
Nonsense! said I.
gpt
If you're too tired to go down, shan't I have my dinner with you? We could have a table drawn up before the fire, and it would be quite jolly.
human
I'm too done up for society, even yours. I'd rather you went down. You will, won't you?
gpt
Certainly, if you won't have me. Rest well. I shall see that they send you up something decent.
human
It doesn't matter. I'm not as hungry as I was, somehow. Good night, Man.
gpt
Good night, Boy.
human
Shake hands, will you?
gpt
Good night
