By the way, have you picked out your plane?
gpt
Yes, indeed! It's a Bellanca--they call it Model J 300. Just built for ocean flights! Oh, Daddy, it has everything to make it perfect! A capacity for carrying one hundred and five additional gallons of gasoline, besides the regular supply in the tanks of one hundred and eighty gallons! And a Wright three-hundred-horsepower engine, and a tachometer, and a magnetic compass----
human
There, that's enough, Daughter! he interrupted, smiling.
gpt
I'm afraid I don't know what all those terms mean. If you're satisfied that it's the best you can buy----
human
Oh, I am! I'm crazy about it. I'm going to put in my order the minute I get your telegram.
gpt
And if anything should happen, so that you had to come down in the water, would it float?
human
Yes, Daddy. The tanks permit the plane to float. You can be sure it will have every modern invention, every safety device there is today. It will cost about twenty-two thousand dollars!
gpt
That's right, Daughter, he approved.
human
If you're going at all, you must do the thing with the utmost care. Don't try to save money. A few hundred dollars might mean the difference between disaster and success.
