I was looking for you, Carnally said.

You had better get up. Take the rope as soon as it drops.
human
No, he returned calmly;
gpt
What's the matter with the winch! Can't you heave on it?
human
You above, get on to the handles! When's that rope coming? She ought to carry two!
gpt
Steady, boys! he said.
human
The winch won't lift you both. Being heaved up is too slow. Tell them to make the rope fast, and then climb; it's strong enough to carry two or three.
