Merciful cats! gasped Tad Horner.
gpt
I believe they actually mean to roast us!
human
Sure as fate! agreed another.
gpt
They won't think to put out the fires till we are well cooked, if they do then!
human
This is awful! gurgled Parker.
gpt
Browning, can't you do something?
human
Well, I hardly think so, confessed the king of the sophomores.
gpt
But I will do something if I ever get out of this alive! You hear me murmur!
human
Say! cried Tad Horner.
gpt
I can't stand this much longer. The fire is beginning to roast me.
human
It's getting warm, confessed Parker.
gpt
But it seems to keep burning around the outside edge.
human
Keep cool,
gpt
What's that? yelled Horner.
human
Who said 'keep cool?' Oh, say! That's too much!
gpt
Just look at the wood, directed the king of the sophomores.
human
You will notice that all the wood about our feet is water soaked, and there's only a little dry wood out around the edges. That's all that is burning.
