It isn't all plum cake and lemonade, girls, even to beat West High and Lumberport----
gpt
Oh, my! croaked Bobby.
human
See what we did to West High last time without Hester.
gpt
That was a fluke,
human
Why, they're babies! said Josephine Morse, confidently.
gpt
And Lumberport as well.
human
Don't get the idea in your head that we are going to whip any team so easily. That's when we are going to lose, urged Laura.
gpt
Being too sure is as bad as being careless in your play.
human
Now she is hitting _me_,
gpt
Well, Jess, if the cap fits, put it on.
human
But do let us encourage ourselves, Mother Wit, cried one of the twins.
gpt
Goodness knows, we need it.
human
That's right, said her sister.
gpt
We've had _such_ bad luck!
human
Aw, she's a regular old croaker! shouted Bobby, dancing up and down.
gpt
We are going to win every game from now on!
human
Hush! exclaimed Laura.
gpt
We're making too much noise. Somebody will come and put us out.
human
Nope. Nobody here but John, the janitor. Gee Gee's gone home, you bet. I wish those other girls would come and we could get down to business.
gpt
You look out, Bobby. If you get black marks again maybe _you'll_ be taken off the team for the rest of the term.
human
Oh, oh! cried the irrepressible.
gpt
Don't say such a thing.
human
That would be too mean!
gpt
Indeed it would!
