I reckon I had better go out and kill another moose,
gpt
You have done quite enough in that direction already, answered Tad.
human
We are fortunate if we don't get into trouble over that killing of yours.
gpt
This is serious, spoke up the Professor.
human
What shall we do, Charlie?
gpt
Me kill deer,
human
Deer are out of season. We don't want to do anything of that sort, except as a last resort, replied Butler.
gpt
We simply must have some more provisions.
human
Send Stacy around to the corner grocery for a fresh supply,
gpt
Charlie, how far are we from a town?
human
Mebby twenty, mebby thirty miles,
gpt
What town is it?
human
Matungamook.
gpt
That's a funny name,
human
Your name will be more funny if we don't get something to eat pretty soon,
gpt
That's so,
human
Professor, it is my opinion that we should send Charlie to--to--the place with the unpronounceable name for fresh supplies,
gpt
How long will it take?
human
Can you make it in two days, Charlie?
gpt
Mebby more, mebby less.
human
Then I guess we had better send you.
gpt
I want to go, too,
human
It might not be a bad idea,
gpt
Do you need any one, Charlie?
human
Me take fat boy. Fat boy help carry grub.
gpt
He will carry the large part of it inside of him if you don't watch out, and that won't do us any good,
human
Then you had better take two ponies,
gpt
Me walk,
human
Just as you choose, agreed the Professor.
gpt
I would suggest, though, that you take a horse. You won't be able to carry enough provisions otherwise.
human
Me walk,
gpt
Let him walk, urged Ned.
human
He will carry as much as a horse, and Stacy's mount will take care of the rest.
gpt
I am not sure that we ought to let Chunky go, mused Tad.
human
He may get into further trouble, and Charlie might not be able to get him out of it.
gpt
Me take care fat boy,
human
All right, Charlie. We will hold you responsible. Get back as soon as you can. Shall you see Mr. Vaughn?
