We are going away tomorrow.
gpt
We? And who are we?
human
Oh, the Simpkinses and our whole family, and Mr. Meigs.
gpt
And where?
human
Mr. Meigs has persuaded mother into the wildest scheme. It is nothing less than to leap from, here across all the intervening States to the White Sulphur Springs in Virginia. Father falls into the notion because he wants to see more of the Southerners, Mrs. Simpkins and her daughter are crazy to go, and Mr. Meigs says he has been trying to get there all his life, and in August the season is at its height. It was all arranged before I was consulted, but I confess I rather like it. It will be a change.

Yes, I should think it would be delightful, King replied, rather absent-mindedly.

It's a long journey, a very long journey. I should think it would be too long a journey for Mr. Meigs--at his time of life.
