Jack Corner! exclaimed Nan.
gpt
You dreadful child! Just look at you, and, oh, dear, how you are wasting paint. It won't begin to be enough to finish the fence the way you have been using it. Unc' Landy will give you Jesse.
human
Some one's always giving me Jesse, complained Jack.
gpt
You all keep saying Unc' Landy has so much to do and I am only helping him.
human
Pretty help, using up the paint and ruining your clothes. March yourself straight into the house, miss.

She is the most trying child, said Nan, deftly dodging the brush, though not without receiving some drops upon her frock.
human
I declare, there isn't a day when she doesn't do something dreadful.
gpt
She just fought she was helping,

Maybe she did, but it's pretty poor help, said Nan, stooping to pick a plantain leaf with which to wipe off the worst spots from her skirt.

Aunt Sarah was so good as to buy the paint. I know she went without something to do it, and now for Jack to do her so mean as to play this scurvy trick is too bad. I'm all done out with Jack. It's lucky we found her when we did or there wouldn't have been even as much paint as there is. I must go tell Unc' Landy at once. Maybe he can scrape off some of this before it dries. Help indeed! It gives him double work.
