Hello, Johnny! hailed Courtney cordially.
gpt
I was just asking Miss Joy about you.
human
Thanks, he returned.
gpt
What did she say?
human
Not much, replied Courtney, smiling slyly.
gpt
She didn't know where you were, but she's looking for you.
human
Where is she?
gpt
She just went out on the side porch of the library, announced Courtney.
human
Her message is from me, however. Washer and Close and the colonel are coming out this noon.
gpt
Thanks, replied Johnny starting away.
human
Did I understand you to say the side porch of the library?
gpt
Mornin', it observed.
human
I knew Eugene's intellect was woozing again. Always announcing some plan for us to bore each other, don't you know, and never having it come off.
gpt
This is the place and the hour, Reggie, declared Mr. Courtney.
human
If you'll just stay here I'll send you out a brandy and soda and some cigars.
gpt
Thanks awfully, old man, returned Reggie, looking dubiously out at the loggia. It was enticing enough, with its broad, cool, tiled flooring and its vine-hung arches and its vistas of the tree-clad hills across the ravine; but it was empty.
human
I think I'll return when the rest of them are together.
