Minnie, you're a bad girl, and you oughtn't to have any; but since you stopped when I told you to I'll give you a few,
gpt
She's all right now, said Neale's uncle, as the regular elephant men came up to take charge of the creature.
human
She was just a little excited, that's all. How did it happen?
gpt
Oh, the same as usual, replied Minnie's keeper.
human
All at once she gave a trumpet, yanked her stakes loose, and set off out of the animal tent. I had some ropes on her ready to have her pull one of the wagons, and we grabbed these--as many of us as could--but we couldn't hold her.
gpt
I'm afraid we'll have to get rid of Minnie, she's too uncertain. Doesn't seem to know her own mind, like a lot of the women folks,
human
You were very brave to stop her as you did,
gpt
Oh, well, it's my business, said the animal man.
human
It wasn't such a risk as it seemed. I was all ready to jump to one side if she hadn't stopped.
gpt
I wonder if any one in the animal tent was hurt, went on the lawyer.
human
We must go and see, Neale. Ruth and the others--
gpt
I hope none of your folks were injured, broke in Mr. Sorber.
human
Minnie has done damage in the past, but I guess she only just ran away this time.
