So don't start off on any voyage without telling us,
gpt
I won't, promised Freddie.
human
First I must see how much money I have saved up.
gpt
Well, how much have you?
human
Flossie says there are only fifty-six cents, Freddie answered,
gpt
I can so!
human
Now children, be nice,
gpt
I'll count the money for you,
human
Seventy-nine cents, he told Freddie, after he had finished.
gpt
And here's a penny of mine I'll give you. That makes eighty cents.
human
Is that 'most enough to buy a ship, Daddy?
gpt
Oh no, my dear boy. You'll need lots more money than that. So keep on saving, and don't go off without letting us know.
human
All right, Freddie said with a sigh.
gpt
Do you think I'll have enough saved in a week?
human
I can tell you better when the week is up,
gpt
School begins in a week, said Nan.
human
You can't go off on a ship when you have to go to school, Freddie.
gpt
That's so. Well, I'll keep on saving, and when school is out again Tommy and I will go off in the ship to find his father.
