Be careful! You'll fall in!

What are you doing; fishing? Ruth asked.
human
Don't you know Hank said you couldn't catch fish when the boat was moving unless you trolled with what he called a spoon?
gpt
We're not fishing!

I'm just giving the Alice-doll a bath, explained Tess.
gpt
I tied her on the end of a string and I'm letting her swim in the water. She likes it!
human
She does not! And you must stop! And you must give her to me! Oh, Ruthie!
gpt
Children! Children! admonished Ruth, in perfect amazement at such behavior on the part of the gentle and considerate Tess.
human
I'm surprised at you! Tess, dear, give Dot her doll. You shouldn't have put her in water unless Dot allowed you to.
gpt
Well, but she needed a bath! insisted Tess.
human
She was dirty!
gpt
I know it, and I was going to give her a bath; but she has a cold and I was waiting till she got over it! explained Dot.
human
Tess, give me that string, and I'll pull my Alice-doll up!
