They certainly aren't very good company, she remarked.
gpt
Jean seems the only one they will have anything to say to.
human
You forget she dressed up in her best and entertained them yesterday, said Mary Lee, laughing.
gpt
What did you talk about, kitten?
human
Oh, fings to eat, and--and horses and--dogs.
gpt
No wonder then they found something to say, laughed Nan.
human
Now run along and get ready for school. Mary Lee will start later and I may not get there at all.
gpt
There isn't going to be any school to-day,
human
Why not? Who said so?
gpt
Jack said so.
human
How did she find out?
gpt
I don't know. She said this morning when we were getting dressed that there wasn't going to be any school to-day.
human
It isn't a holiday. I'd like to know why, said Nan reflectively.
gpt
Are you sure, Jean?
human
Yes, I'm sure. I asked Jack twice and both times she said: 'There isn't going to be any school.'
gpt
To be sure we weren't there yesterday, said Nan,
human
I don't know.
gpt
Go find her, there's a good girl.
human
What are you looking for?
gpt
I'm looking for Trouble,
human
You'll find it soon enough if you look for it, he said, passing on and leaving Jean much puzzled by his remark. Finding neither Jack nor Trouble in this direction, she sought Unc' Landy and Trouble was discovered gnawing a ham bone by the old man's cabin door.
gpt
Come, Trouble, find Jack,
human
Find Jack. Come, where's Jack?
gpt
There isn't going to be any school to-day.
