Not taken away?
gpt
No: he has gone home, said Dick.
human
That rope wasn't thick enough to hold him. I thought he would get away.
gpt
Then why not have asked me for a thicker rope, Dick?
human
What's the good! If I had tied him there with a thicker rope, he'd have bitten through the bridle. He wanted to go back home, and when he does, he will go somehow.
gpt
He seems a wonderful beast,
human
I don't know about being wonderful. He's a rum one, and as cunning as a fox. Why, he'll unfasten any gate to get into a field, and he'll get out too. He unhooks the doors and lifts the gates off the hinges, and one day he was shut up in the big barn, and what do you think he did?
gpt
I know, said Tom;
human
Yes, that he did, said Dick.
gpt
He climbed up the straw till he got to the window, and then squeezed himself through.
