Oh, papa!
gpt
Papa's poor little girl! he said.
human
It was mighty hard on her, wasn't it?
gpt
Oh, papa, you are not hurt very badly?
human
Not hurt at all, sweetheart. I, to put it simply, tumbled down on the ice and hit my head, and was so stunned that I did not come to myself until it was too late for the last train.
gpt
Oh, papa, where were you? Did they carry you to a hospital?
human
No, dear. I was very near a man who used to keep my books before I gave up my office, and he had me carried to his house, which was near by, and he and his sister did everything for me, they and their doctor.
gpt
They must be such good people!
human

gpt
Not in other ways than money, he added, quickly.
human
I owe him nothing.
