They are gone!
gpt
Who are gone?
human
The red-whiskered man and the woman with the corkscrew curls, replied Pittypat.
gpt
The Mifkets chased them to the shore, but they jumped into the boat and rowed away in time to escape. The Mifkets threw sticks at them and Black Ooboo screamed with rage; but the father and mother of our Princess got away without being hurt in the least.
human
What are the Mifkets doing now.
gpt
They are getting ready to search the forest for you and Chick and the Princess, was the reply.
human
The Arab is with them.
gpt
This is certainly unpleasant news, remarked the gingerbread man.
human
Did the gray owl tell you how we may escape?
gpt
The owl sent me to the King of the Fairy Beavers, replied the rabbit,
human
A Fairy Beaver! cried Chick, gleefully; and the Princess asked, wonderingly:
gpt
Can a beaver be a fairy?
human
Why not? inquired Pittypat.
gpt
All the animals have their fairies, just as you human folks do; and it is lucky for us that the Fairy Beaver lives on this very island. There is only one danger--that the Mifkets find you before I can lead you to the Beaver King. So follow me at once, I implore you, before it is too late!
human
How far is it?
gpt
The palace of the beavers is somewhere under the big dam in the river, which is not far away. The King promised to meet us at the waterfall; but he will not allow me to enter, because I am a rabbit, so you must go in alone. But have no fear. The King will allow nothing to harm you.
