Isn't this world funny, William-- Mrs. Lee stared into the blaze.
gpt
If that child had not lived that funny, lonely life in that big house with no one but the queer governess, that gift of hers might never have developed! I wonder what the future may have in store for her?
human
Above all--let us hope--health and happiness!
gpt
I've got something to show you all,
human
What've you got?
gpt
Guess!
human
Oh, I know--it's a new sending set! I guessed first!
gpt
You didn't guess, either! I'll bet you saw Joe Gary bring it!
human
What is a sending set?
gpt
I'll show you afterwards,
human
But I thought you had to save three dollars more before you could buy one--
gpt
Well, this ain't exactly mine--yet, Dad! Joe Gary made it and he's going to make another and he says I can use this one until I want to buy it or at least for a while. I have that dollar I was saving and my onions and radishes.
human
Good gracious! Barbara laughed,
gpt
I suppose we'll live on onions and radishes three times a day.
human
Don't you think, son, it might be better to wait until you have the money to pay Joe? And a little more practice?
gpt
Billy's always spending money on all those foolish things, Barbara put in.
human
He doesn't seem to want to save and help you!
gpt
Well, say, don't you think those things are foolish! You read all sorts of things how wireless messages save people--
human
On sinking ships, yes!
gpt
Well, lots of other ways, too! Billy's face blazed with wrath.
human
I'll just show you some time!
gpt
Molly Sawyer's brother knows a boy who is a wireless operator in the Canadian Army and sends messages from trees!
human
And if I have a little more practice I can try the troop exams next winter and get a certificate!
gpt
Billy, broke in his mother,
human
Why, Mother, said Peggy, suddenly alarmed,
gpt
Janet Clark was with us this morning!
