human
There you are, my dear!
gpt
And one more!
human
Is this Pocono? the boy asked freeing himself from the shawl that wrapped him.
gpt
The lady said we weren't to get out except at Pocono.
human
And we want Uncle Toby,
gpt
Bless your hearts, I'm Uncle Toby! cried Mr. Bardeen.
human
This isn't exactly Pocono, but you'd never get there to-night if you stayed on that train. I'm going to take you off and drive you to my home in Pocono in this auto. See, here are the Curlytops and some other playmates for you,
gpt
Curlytops!
human
It's on account of our hair,
gpt
Oh, I see! laughed Mary.
human
It's lovely hair! I wish mine curled.
gpt
I'm glad mine doesn't, her brother exclaimed.
human
It's too hard to comb.
gpt
It is hard,
human
Is he a Curlytop, too?
gpt
He belongs to the family, but his hair doesn't curl, said Uncle Toby, with a laugh.
human
But now that I have you children safe in here I'd better be going, he added.
gpt
I'll tell the telegraph operator to send you help as soon as he can,
human
Please do, begged the conductor.
gpt
We'd like to get dug out of here before night.
human
Isn't it lovely in here, Harry?
gpt
I should say so! he exclaimed.
human
I never was in a car like this before.
gpt
And, oh, look! A dog!
human
That's Skyrocket! He likes you,
gpt
I like him!
human
And, oh, look at the kitten!
gpt
Uncle Toby just found it in the woods,
human
What's its name?
gpt
We haven't named it yet, Ted answered.
human
Skyrocket saw it up a tree and barked.
gpt
I think Fluff would be a nice name for the pussy, said Mary.
human
He's such a fluffy ball of fur.
gpt
Oh, that would be a lovely name! cried Lola.
human
Why don't you call it that?
gpt
I guess we will. You may name the kitten Fluff, Mary, and it'll be part your cat.
human
Oh, how nice! murmured the poor little girl.
gpt
I never had even part of a cat before.
human
Uncle Toby has a cat and his name is Snuff! said Trouble.
gpt
An' he's got a monkey and a parrot!
human
That's right! Uncle Toby has a lot of pets out at his place, and we're going to take them to Crystal Lake with us, aren't we, Uncle Toby?
gpt
Oh, I guess if we take your dog that will be enough, chuckled the old sailor.
human
The others will be better off in Pocono. But you'll have a chance to see them,
gpt
Well, I must be getting on if I'm going to send help to the people on the stalled train, remarked Uncle Toby, as he turned the automobile around.
human
And then we'll go on to Pocono. Aunt Sallie will be getting anxious about us.
gpt
Is Aunt Sallie a monkey or a parrot?
human
Neither one! answered Uncle Toby, with a laugh, in which the Curlytops joined.
gpt
She's my housekeeper; and she'll go with us to Crystal Lake for the holidays.
human
What will you do with your pets?
gpt
I'll get some one to look after them. I haven't as many as when you Curlytops played circus with them. But there's enough. Too many, so Aunt Sallie thinks.
