Ranger, who has been more like a father to me than a master, is going to inquire about a homestead, and should the one in view be suitable in every way, I hope soon to be the possessor of a home, to which I shall ask you to accompany me, Jessie.
gpt
But what about father, Ralph? Have you thought of him?
human
Yes, Jess, I have; and my idea is, if he and you are willing, that he should form one of our party,—an arrangement which would give rise to no separation, and he would be very useful.
gpt
Supposing the farmer raises no objection to your going, would you be willing to transfer your services to me and take the management of my farm?
human
Well, he replied,
gpt
Oh no, for I haven’t got the farm yet! You had better think about it.
human
I’ll promise to do that.
gpt
You are perhaps aware that I have very little knowledge of farming beyond what I have picked up during the short time I have been with Ranger, and therefore I shall be obliged to have someone to help me.
human
All right, Fellows. So far as I can see at present, I may as well be with you as any other man; more especially as Jess and I will still be near each other.
