I'll never be able to climb anything after this meal,

Don't expect us back before late afternoon, Father, he called over his shoulder.
human
We've a long slow climb ahead of us because of the snow. Probably we shall find it drifted in lots of places. Then we shall want some time at the top of the mountain, you know. Besides, we're going to stop and cook chops, and that will delay us. So don't worry if we don't turn up much before dinner time.

You're sure you know the trail, Bob?
human
Why, Mother dear, what a question! Know the trail? Haven't I climbed that mountain so many times that I could go up it backwards and with my eyes shut?
gpt
I guess that's true, Mother,
human
Good-bye, then, said Bob's mother.

Have a fine day and don't freeze your noses.
