Where are we going?
gpt
The Landing's the only place for me.
human
But we're only fifteen miles from the Warehouse!
gpt
Might as well be fifteen hundred, said Captain Jack,
human
Is there no house anywhere near?
gpt
Say, do you think you're in a rural neighbourhood?
human
I asked you a question, Garth repeated.
gpt
Is there any one living near here?
human
Sometimes there's breeds at Bear Portage below, he said.
gpt
But not in the summer.
human
Is there no road?
gpt
Not what _you'd_ call a road. How would you carry your outfit?
human
Where are the breeds in the summer?
gpt
God knows! he said.
human
Pitching somewheres about between the East and the West!
gpt
Well, there's some way of reaching the Warehouse, he said,
human
Sure! said Captain Jack hopelessly.
gpt
As long as you like--But you'll never make it! he added with an atrabilious eye.
human
Never in God's world! You better take my advice and get out of the country while you can!
