Yes, Amy says I can come,
gpt
That is good, Anderson replied, hospitably, but he eyed him sharply.
human
You went very quickly,
gpt
Got a ride on the ice wagon, said he.
human
The ice-man is a good feller. I asked him why he had stopped bringing us ice, and he said if he was running the business, instead of jest carting for the boss, he'd give us all the ice we wanted for nothing. He was going up past our house, and when we got there he gave me a big chunk of ice, and I went and got Marie, and we lugged it into the kitchen together. Lucky Aunt Anna or Charlotte didn't see me.
gpt
Why?
human
Oh, nothing, only they wouldn't have let me take it. Say, Marie was crying. Her eyes looked as red as a rabbit's. I asked her what the matter was, and she said she hadn't been paid her wages. Say, isn't it too bad everybody makes such a fuss about being paid. It worries Aunt Anna and Charlotte awfully. Women are dreadful worriers, ain't they?
gpt
Perhaps they are, replied Anderson, and got out a book with colored plates of South American butterflies.
human
I think you will like to look at these pictures, said he.
gpt
I have some letters to write.
human
All right, said Eddy, and spread his little knees to form a place for the big book.
gpt
I am glad I wasn't a girl, he said, in pursuance of his train of thought.
human
Golly, what a whopper butterfly!
gpt
Yes, that is a big fellow,
human
I caught one once twice as big as that in a place where we used to live.
gpt
Don't talk any more, son,
human
All right,
