How do you happen to be here?
gpt
Fishing, answered Bert.

We drove out from town with our old nag, hitched her to a tree and fished. Thunder and lightning always rile the beast, and she just broke her tie-strap and oozed off home, and left us in her wake. We got this far, walking, but the road was such a juicy mess we decided to stop and telephone for some one to come out after us.

That's what I am going to do. Where is the telephone, Mrs. Mills?
human
O, do allow us to have the pleasure, begged Max.

They said they'd send out the 'light bearers' wagon,' and it's warranted to hold six. Besides it will be here in twenty minutes, and a private equipage would take longer.

Well--it's awfully kind of you, I'm sure! Aren't you afraid we'll make you wetter, though, if we ride in the same carriage? I am flooding the floor at this moment. It's terrible, Mrs. Mills. Isn't there a shed we could go into, and not make such a lot of work for you?

Deary me, Miss Osgood, it's a pleasure to me to have you here. But I wisht you'd come into the parlor, all of you, you and your friends. I'll lay papers down on the carpet, and you can just walk in.
