Now, tell us your trouble,
gpt
I can't bear to think of going home!
human
Going home! echoed Sahwah and Gladys, nearly falling off the ledge in alarm.
gpt
You're not going home, are you? Don't tell us that you----
human
Oh, I don't mean that I'm going home now, she said hastily.
gpt
I mean that I can't bear to think of going home at the end of the summer.
human
Gracious! said Gladys weakly.
gpt
Who's thinking about the end of the summer already? Why, it's hardly begun. You don't mean to say that you're worrying now about going home in September?
human
That's the trouble, she said laconically.
gpt
I know it's a crazy thing to worry about, but when we were having such a good time on the lake this morning I got to thinking how I hated to leave it, even to go to college, and started to get blue right away. And the more I thought about it the bluer I got, and the bluer I got the more I thought about it, and--that's all there is to it! she finished with a characteristic gesture of her long arms.
human
And now I can't stop thinking about it and I've just got the indigoes!
gpt
Well, of all things! exclaimed Sahwah.
human
Aren't some people the funniest things, though?
