Pardon my hilarity, he said, as he caught a glimpse of Patty's face,
gpt
All right, I'll laugh with you! and Patty sat upright, the dark laprobe held hoodwise, so that she looked like a mischievous nun.

If you'll please turn off the thunder and lightning, I won't mind the rain a bit. In fact, I'm getting used to it. I know I was meant for a duck, anyway.
gpt
Well, Duck, the thunder and lightning are getting farther away, said Bill, truly,
human
Can't we get under the car?
gpt
Not very well; and it wouldn't help much. It's rather wet, even under there,

human

human
But I can walk, put in Patty, anxious to prevent a quarrel.
gpt
I haven't on walking boots exactly, but I can flounder along somehow. And we MUST get to shelter! Help me along, Jack, and I'll try not to mind the thunder and lightning.

gpt
No; it's so late. But we can ring up the family, and they'll surely take us in for the night.
human
Not if they see us first! exclaimed Bill.
gpt
Oh, Miss Fairfield, you look like Ophelia with those flowers tumbling all over your face!
