Mr. Clavering is very kindly donating the land--two hundred acres north of Spring City, isn't it, Kitty? she continued, turning to the girl beside her.
gpt
And my brother will write to the Government for a charter. Then we will ask each of you to put in a thousand dollars--or more, if you can afford it--and we will buy a plane or two, and put up a hangar and a rough sort of club-house.
human
And will _you_ belong to the club? asked Kitty, as if it were too great an honor to be expected, as if she were asking Amelia Earhart, or Laura Ingals, or Amy Johnson.
gpt
Oh, it will be so wonderful to have your name, Bess!
human
I guess I could work it in, replied the other.
gpt
Though I'm usually pretty busy with my own flying. I happen to be out of a job now, but don't forget I'm a working girl!
human
Of course. But just having your name would mean so much to us! If you'd only consent to be president!
gpt
I'm afraid I couldn't do that, replied the latter.
human
I might accept a minor office, like secretary or treasurer, just so that you could have _one_ experienced flyer on your list. But hardly president--I haven't time.
gpt
repeated Louise, scornfully.
human
I want to tell you, Miss Hulbert, that Miss Carlton is a wonderful aviatrix!
gpt
Oh, is that so? smiled the older girl, as one might smile at a child.
human
I'm sorry, I'd forgotten Kitty did mention that one of you, besides her brother, had been flying a couple of months.
gpt
Two months seems a lot to us, but of course it's nothing to anybody like Miss Hulbert, who has handled all sorts of planes for the last three years. And has actually had instruction from men high up in the Flying Corps!... Now, suppose we elect officers--two boys and two girls.
human
I nominate Kitty Clavering for president,
gpt
And I move the nominations be closed, said the lieutenant.
human
It was Kitty's idea to have the club, and Kitty's father is making it possible, so I think Kitty is the only person for president.
