One, two! One, two! Click stroke! Ready, dip!
gpt
Water wheel!
human
Wasn't that fun? said Sahwah.
gpt
I'm getting wider awake every minute. You were right about making us get up, Katherine. If I'd slept as long as I wanted to I'd have felt 'dumpy' all day, but now I feel fine and just full of pep.
human
So do I,
gpt
I don't, said Hinpoha dolefully.
human
I guess I'm not much of a sport, but I'm getting sleepier every minute.
gpt
You girls talk too long before you go to sleep nights, said the Captain.
human
That's why you're not ready to get up in the morning. We can hear you away down in our tents, long after we're asleep.
gpt
How can you hear us after you're asleep?
human
Well, anyway, said Hinpoha,
gpt
I'm going back to bed as soon as we land and sleep until breakfast time. I'm not going for a dip this morning.
human
You can't sleep, said Katherine, the martinet,
gpt
What time is it?
human
It must be pretty near eight, answered Katherine.
gpt
Wait a minute until I look at my watch.
human
It's ten after seven, she said.
gpt
Why, it can't be that--that's what it was when I got up. The watch has stopped. I don't know what time it is, but it must be nearly eight.
human
It's clearing up, said Sahwah joyfully.
gpt
It isn't going to rain after all today. She twisted her head upward to see where the sun was breaking through the clouds.
human
Why---- she exclaimed in bewilderment,
gpt
It's--it's just rising! said Katherine, dumbfounded.
human
Did it oversleep, too?
gpt
No, it didn't, said Uncle Teddy.
human
Old Sol is the one person who always wakes on time. And at this season of the year his time is about four o'clock A. M.
gpt
It's only four o'clock! they all shouted.
human
Katherine, you wretch, you pulled us out of our beds at half past three! You did it on purpose!
gpt
My watch must have stopped at ten after seven last night, she said sheepishly.
human
I remember now, I didn't wind it. No wonder it was so grey and misty we thought it was going to rain!
gpt
The real test of sportsmanship! scoffed the Captain.
human
I should say we were some fine sports, getting up at half past three the morning after a canoe trip and going out to crew practice!
gpt
And me getting into a wet bathing suit! mourned Hinpoha.
human
I think I ought to have a Carnegie medal for that.
