How often have I been mistaken.
You were mistaken about the length of time that foreigners would stay on the island.
Yes indeed I was.
And can anybody be obedient.
Yes it is not difficult.
Were we mistaken about the president.
Yes we were in a fashion of speaking.
How did we know.
By becoming aware of some facts with which we had not been acquainted.
Yes that is correct.
We do not need to be careful.
No indeed.
Mrs. Giles.
Why do you not state the difference between steps and road.
I have often.
What is it then.
The difference between steps and road is that one is disagreeable and the other isn"t.
Certainly.
We have often noticed it.
Now we avoid the steps.
So do we.
Yes I find it is the common practice.
The steps are steep.
So is the road.
Indeed it is.
Why are you late.
I am not very late.
No you are not very late.
We have often met before.
Indeed we have.
Henrietta Fountain.
Dear me have you been here before.
Yes and seen the almonds in flower.
Yes certainly every day.
Yes indeed and with great pleasure.
Yes and some pleasure in exercise.
Yes in exercise and variety.
Yes in that continually.
Yes in that very much.
Did you happen to hear of the city of Georgia.
I did not know there existed a city of that name.
I had reference to a steamer.
Then I can certainly agree with you.
I hoped you could.
It will be a pleasure to meet again.
