Great guns and little fish-hooks, that will be fun,
gpt
It means tonight,
human
It says tomorrow.
gpt
But it's dated yesterday.
human
That's so. We'll get Her Highness diked out, and be ready. Suppose we better wear real clothes under our flying suits--
gpt
Dinner coats, Jim agreed.
human
If it's informal we don't have to do more than that--
gpt
Brush our teeth,
human
I hope they are careful what they say,
gpt
What do you mean?
human
These international affairs are ticklish things. If you get riled and throw a soup plate, or some little thing like that, it might bring on a war. It doesn't take much to bring on a war--
gpt
There isn't a soup plate handy, Uncle Norman, but I know where Aunt Belle keeps her potato masher. You want to be very careful that you do not start any internal wars; they are the worst sort.
human
Guess I better get outside if that's the case,
gpt
Let's have a look at the world, Jim proposed, then added,
human
Old Champlain looks kind of high to me. Is it usually so?
gpt
Suppose it would be after so much rain,
human
No it isn't, Mrs. Fenton answered, and she looked very serious.
gpt
It's higher now than it's been in years, and with the rain stopped, it will fill more. There are so many streams, some big ones, that empty into it all around. She went with the boys to the back veranda and glanced across anxiously.
human
I can't see Gull Rock at all, and Fisher's Island looks as if half of it is under water.
gpt
If it comes flooding too high, we'll take you and Uncle Norman up in Her Highness out of danger,
human
We can get in the boats if necessary, Bob, and we've got a lot of high land for the stock, so that will be all right, but there are many of the people here who have small farms. My land sakes alive, I expect that some of them are in a bad way right this minute. I'll go telephone.
gpt
Let's have a walk around,
human
We won't need to wheel Her Highness out. Look at the carriage shed,
gpt
Cracky. Let's see if she's all right.
human
We'll have to take our shoes off--or get boots.
gpt
I'll see if Aunt Belle has any extra pairs around.
