Why did we come here, Tom? she said.
gpt
Everything has gone wrong since we left Vancouver.

The outlook certainly isn't very cheerful just now, said Leger, with a rueful smile.
gpt
Still, after all, you made a good many dollars at the bakery, and my claim is doing well. Ingleby will see that while I'm kept here the work is carried on. One can put up with a good deal of inconvenience when he's washing out gold-dust.
human
Dollars! said Hetty.
gpt
And gold-dust! Is there nothing else worth having?
human
Well, said Leger drily,
gpt
What do you mean by--no prospect of getting it?
human
I don't quite know. You suggested the notion. Anyway, I scarcely think Esmond can make out very much of a case against us. He doesn't really know that Tomlinson was at the bakery.
gpt
It isn't that that's worrying me. It's--everything,
human
I don't think you need cry over Tomlinson. The boys will take care of him.
gpt
I wasn't crying about Tomlinson. In fact, I'm not sure I was crying at all. Still, you see, it was all my fault.

Well, he said,
gpt
I scarcely think that should afford you any great satisfaction, though it almost seems to do so. No doubt it's part of a girl's nature to make trouble of the kind.
human
I'm going to be angry in a minute. That's not the way to talk to any one who's feeling--what I am just now.
gpt
I'd sooner see you raging than looking as you do. Shake the mood off, Hetty. It isn't in the least like you.
