Yes, lied Bess, for she knew that this would draw more sympathy from Kitty, and the latter might even offer to lend her some money.

How terrible! Kitty got up and went over beside the older girl.
gpt
If I could only help you, dear--financially, I mean.

That's good of you, Kit--but I really couldn't accept it!

human

My idea would be to borrow enough to order a big plane, and fly the Atlantic and win that twenty-five thousand dollars. Then I could pay you and my brother both back at once.

And bring glory to our Flying Club!

human
About how much?
