When were you home, Paul?
gpt
Two or three hours since. I have just come from Barnum's.

Then you don't know what's happened?
gpt
No. What is it?
human
Your house has caught fire, and is burning down. The engines are there, but I don't think they can save it.
gpt
Let us hurry home, brother, said Paul.
human
It's lucky I've got my bank-book with me, so if we are burned out, we can get another home at once.
