We've got a splendid bit of athletic timber in Eve Sitz,
gpt
I hope she'll take up rowing. We can put her into Celia's place on the eight for next year, and then there will be no danger of Hester Grimes getting it,
human
She is better material for stroke than Hester,
gpt
And enough sight better tempered,
human
You know what Hester is doing now?
gpt
What is it?
human
She is trying to make the other girls think that the Executive Committee only cares about the eight-oared boat race, and that we'll put up no fight for Central High's entries in the other events.
gpt
She is going to make trouble if she can,
human
It isn't so, Laura said, firmly.
gpt
There is going to be a fine canoe race--we look to you twins to make good for Central High in that.
human
We'll do our best,
gpt
And I remember that you never were any fun, as a girl, Dora, observed Mr. Lockwood, at the supper table that night, when his sister uttered her usual criticisms of the twins' conduct.
human
You squealed if you came across a caterpillar, and a garter snake sent you into spasms, and it tired you to walk half a mile, and----
gpt
Thanks be! I was no tomboy,
human
Far from it, said the flower lover.
gpt
And mother was always having the doctor for you, and you got cold the easiest of any person I ever saw--and do to this day----
human
That is perfectly ridiculous, Lemuel.
gpt
I believe you're sitting in a draught now, Dora,
human
Well--I----Achoo! I believe you! I never did see such a draughty place as this house, Lemuel. Ahem! Dora! get me my little knit shawl, will you, child?
gpt
Oh, yes, Auntie,
human
We're both through our suppers, Auntie, said the other.
gpt
We'll bring the shawl.
human
Now! exclaimed the exasperated old lady, when the twins were out of the room.
gpt
Which of 'em went for it?
human
I could not undertake to say, Sister.
