Why don't people make inquiries? thought Gilbert superciliously.
gpt
Perhaps they have never been anywhere before, but even that's no excuse.
human
What kind of passengers are we carrying this afternoon?
gpt
The usual kind, I guess!--You're on the wrong train, sonny!
human
I, on the wrong train? he asked haughtily.
gpt
That _can't_ be so; the ticket agent told me the 3.05 was the only fast train to Greentown!
human
Mebbe he thought you said Greenville; this train goes to Greenville, if that'll do you! Folks ain't used to the new station yet, and the ticket agents are all bran' new too,--guess you got hold of a tenderfoot!
gpt
But Greenville will _not_ 'do' for me, exclaimed Gilbert.
human
I want to go to _Greentown_.
gpt
Well, get off at Lowell, the first stop,--you'll know when you come to it because this gentleman that wanted to go to Lawrence will get off there, and this young lady that was intendin' to go to North Conway. There'll be four of you; jest a nice party.
human
What train shall I be able to take to Greentown,
gpt
Don't know, sonny! Ask the ticket agent in the Lowell deepot; he's an old hand and he'll know!
