What! you have come in our absence!
gpt
And we have been wondering what had become of you!
human
I thought you would be at the farm before us,
gpt
We have been looking for you at the farm,
human
But we are at the farm,
gpt
And so are we!
human
We have been there two days,
gpt
And so have we, at the 'Old Farm,' just at the end of the beach,
human
Our farm is old enough,
gpt
Whereabouts are you?
human
You mean the farm-house behind the hill, at the end of the road?
gpt
Why, that is the Poor-house!
human
The town farm,
gpt
There certainly were some disagreeable old men and women there!
human
But we have surely been made very comfortable,
gpt
A very simple mistake, said Mr. Sylvester, continuing his amusement.
human
Your trunks arrived all right at the 'Old Farm,' two days ago.
gpt
Let us go back directly,
human
As directly as our horse will allow,
gpt
Your rooms are awaiting you, he said.
human
Why not come with us?
gpt
We want to find Mr. Peterkin before we do anything else,
human
Do you suppose they took us for paupers?
gpt
We have not seen any 'they,' said Solomon John,
human
I have been looking for you, he said.
gpt
I have just made a discovery.
human
We have made it, too, said Elizabeth Eliza;
gpt
How did you find it out?
human
Mr. Atwood came to me, puzzled with a telegram that had been brought to him from the station, which he ought to have got two days ago. It came from a Mr. Peters, whom they were expecting here this week, with his wife and boys, to take charge of the establishment. He telegraphed to say he cannot come till Friday. Now, Mr. Atwood had supposed we were the Peterses, whom he had sent for the day we arrived, not having received this telegram.
gpt
Oh, I see, I see! said Mrs. Peterkin;
human
I beg pardon, he said.
gpt
I hope you have found it comfortable here, and shall be glad to have you stay till Mr. Peters' family comes.
human
Old Farm.
gpt
Beg pardon, miss, for thinking you was one of the inmates, and putting you in that room. We thought it so kind of Mrs. Peters to take you off every day with the other gentlemen, that looked so wandering.
