human
They're safe!
gpt
Are they--they all right?
human
Yes, sir.
gpt
Thank God for that! murmured the rich man.
human
Will you bring the rowboat up here?
gpt
Better lower your mainsail first,
human
Oh, dear, what has happened? murmured Flossie, opening her eyes. She gave a shudder.
gpt
I--we went overboard, didn't we?
human
Are you all right, Laura?
gpt
Yes, pa--but I--I don't want to fall overboard again,
human
Neither do I, put in Flossie. She was recovering rapidly.
gpt
It was the boom struck us, wasn't it?
human
Yes.
gpt
Let us get out of the crowd, whispered Jack.
human
The girls are all right now.
gpt
Just as you say,
human
Hi! hi! called out Rossmore Ford.
gpt
Wait! I want to thank you for what you have done.
human
Oh, that's all right, sir,
gpt
Come back, won't you?
human
We'll have to go back,
gpt
Are those young ladies safe?
human
They are,
gpt
Good,
human
I owe you young gentlemen a good deal for saving my daughters,
gpt
I shall never forget what you did,
human
You saved us from death,
gpt
Your boom came around pretty lively,
human
Yes. The--er--fact is, I don't know as much about sailing a boat as I'd like to, answered the owner of the yacht.
gpt
I'll have to be more careful in the future.
human
Pa, we'll have to go home and put on some dry clothing,
gpt
Gracious me, I never thought of that! exclaimed the fond parent.
human
To be sure--we'll go back at once. Do you wish to go along, young gentlemen?
gpt
I guess we had better stay behind and see the race,
human
Yes, I presume you are greatly interested. I was interested myself.
gpt
I hope your school wins,
human
So do I,
gpt
You must give us a call some time, went on Rossmore Ford.
human
Our home is up the lake--Point View Lodge we call it. We shall be glad to see you any time.
gpt
Thank you, perhaps we'll come up,
human
They are certainly nice people, was Pepper's comment.
gpt
You two fellows are regular heroes for saving the maidens fair.
human
Pooh! As if you didn't have as much to do with it as anybody!
gpt
I didn't leap into the briny deep, as the novelists say.
human
Briny deep is good, laughed Andy.
gpt
Why, the water isn't over twelve feet deep around here.
human
It's deep enough to drown in. If you don't believe it, stand on the bottom and find out.
