Hello! he exclaimed.
gpt
If there isn't another! Is that a saw-horse, too?
human
Yes, he replied,
gpt
Mercy on us! cried the young man.
human
A flying saw-horse! What a lot of saw-horses you have about here; very interesting ones, too.
gpt
Yes, said Charlie importantly,
human
It must be most exciting to be so extraordinary a thing. Do you suppose you could get that flying one to come down where we can see it? Do you know, I never have seen a flying saw-horse in all the nineteen years that I have lived.
gpt
She won't come down unless she wants to,
human
Oh, yes, I will, she called, in a low, clear voice.
gpt
Besides, I want to. Charlie was mistaken about the saw-horse. He meant saurus. And I was a flying lizard and this was a coal tree.

And father's got the skeleton of this very lizard up in his room, and he said that it used to fly right up in the topmost branches of the coal trees and he told me about the sauruses that used to be. She had dropped to the ground.
human

gpt
It must be, the young man smilingly replied;
human
It isn't, Sally returned.
gpt
That is--father only told me those things the other day.
human
I guess you must be Professor Ladue's little girl.
gpt
Yes, said Sally,
human
The only and original saw-horse. You, I suppose, were a--we'll call it a gynesaurus--
gpt
And this, he continued, laying his hand affectionately upon the small head beside him,
human
Oh, cried Sally,
gpt
Henrietta despises gates. But does your invitation include her brother? I'm Fox Sanderson and I was on my way to see your father.
human
Father isn't at home to-day, said Sally;
gpt
Now, he said, when she was safely on the right side,
human
Fox tells lovely stories,
gpt
Does he? asked Sally.
human
What about?
gpt
About any kind of a thing that you ask him,
human
About sauruses?
gpt
All right, he agreed, smiling;
