You came up by the mule path, didn't you?
gpt
Must have been a stiff journey in this weather.
human
We came into the mist and snow just below the Col.
gpt
Your friend is done up, isn't he?
human
Oh, he's a very plucky young chap, I replied, careful for the Boy's reputation as a pilgrim;
gpt
I expect he'll be all right to-morrow. Are you going to try and get to Chambéry, or will you return to Aix by train?
human
We shall push on, unless we're snowed in,
gpt
That's our plan, too. I dare say we shall be starting about the same time, and if so, if you don't mind, we might join forces.
human
Now, what is this chap's game? I asked myself.
gpt
He isn't drawing me out for nothing; and as these two are together they have no need of companionship. There's some special reason why they want to join us.
