And I'm getting so saturated with Gee Gee's English and Dimple's Latin, and Miss Gould's French, that positively I _have_ to let off steam by using slang,
gpt
Just keep your slang for other places then, Bobby, said Laura.
human
Mother is likely to overhear you----
gpt
And Laura's pretty prim and particular herself,
human
But what good is it to boil, Bobby, if we can't win games? To reach the top and win the trophy, we must win every game of the series from now on.
gpt
And a fat chance we've got to do that!
human
Four of them are as good as won, said Dora, confidently.
gpt
Those with the West High and Lumberport teams.
human
Don't be too sure of the Lumberport team, advised Laura.
gpt
It improves all the time.
human
We can beat it if Roberta keeps up her end,
gpt
But how about Keyport and East High?
human
Keyport has outplayed us all but one game, complained Dorothy Lockwood.
gpt
East High has beaten us two games and one was a draw. But we _have_ beaten them and we ought to be able to do it again.
human
That's when Hester was on the team,
gpt
If we only had Hester back!
human
Why, Bobby!
gpt
I don't care. It's so. I don't like Hester; but I hate to see Central High lose the trophy for the need of another good player.
human
Oh, girls! she cried.
gpt
Do you know where Hester is?
human
She wasn't at school to-day,
gpt
Nor yesterday,
human
Nor the day before that, cried Laura.
gpt
What's happened to her?
human
She is in the hospital,
gpt
My goodness me! what for?
human
The transfusion of blood was accomplished yesterday. The operation was entirely successful. Hester and Johnny are side by side in little narrow beds in the children's ward of the hospital. Daddy Doctor let me in to peek at them,
gpt
That girl's just splendid! Johnny is going to live and be strong again, the doctors say. Oh! I feel so _little_ when I think of Hester. I'm so sorry I signed that round robin, or said anything against her being on the team. I--I wish we had her back.
human
So--so do I,
gpt
I wouldn't mind if old Hess was playing with us, said Bobby, with a grin.
human
Huh! I guess I was the first one to say so.
