What's to do next, Mr. Crabtree?
gpt
I--er--I don't know, stammered the enraged teacher. He gave a shiver.
human
I am wet to the skin!
gpt
So am I,
human
I shall take cold.
gpt
An' I'll be after gitting the rheumatism.
human
I am half of a mind to invoke the aid of the law, went on Josiah Crabtree, stalking around the barn to keep himself warm.
gpt
This is preposterous, outrageous, extraordinary!
human
It's a blessed shame, sir, that's wot it is.
gpt
It is strange that Mrs. Green was not aroused.
human
No 'tain't, sir--she's a heavy sleeper. She sleeps with an alarm clock on a chair beside her bed, to wake her up in the mornin'.
gpt
Snuggers, we must get into the school building in some manner.
human
Yes, sir.
gpt
Let us go around to the front once more.
human
I don't want another duckin', sir. It was terribul, that was!
gpt
Perhaps we can get under the shelter of the doorway.
human
Why, the door's on a crack! ejaculated the hired man.
gpt
I thought it was locked!
human
So it was locked! returned Josiah Crabtree.
gpt
Can it be possible that the rascals have left the building?
human
Oh, Mr. Crabtree, perhaps they are after us with them guns!
gpt
I--I don't think so. Anyway, let us get inside. Then we can lock the door on them. Some of the cadets must have gone crazy!
