He's unconscious! He's hurt!
gpt
How do you suppose he ever got there?
human
The question is: How shall we get him up?
gpt
I can get down to him--I know I can,
human
You'll break your neck climbing down there! declared the doctor's daughter.
gpt
I wouldn't risk it.
human
But he's helpless. He may be badly hurt,
gpt
My dear! it would be very dangerous climbing down to the ledge, warned Mrs. Case.
human
And how would you get back?
gpt
But somebody has got to go down to get Billy, declared Laura.
human
And perhaps moments may be precious. We don't know how long he has been there, or how badly he is hurt.
gpt
Laura can climb like a goat,
human
And I'm going to try it If we only had a rope----
gpt
I'll run back to that farmhouse and get a rope--and some men to help, perhaps,
human
Good! exclaimed Laura.
gpt
Go ahead, and I'll be getting down to Billy meanwhile.
human
That would be best, I suppose, admitted their teacher.
gpt
But be very careful, Laura.
