How did ye git lost?
gpt
We wasn't lost, answered Prue,
human
How could we be lost when we knew where we was going? We was going to Boston to my Randy, and we're 'most to the cars, but we're just resting a little while first.
gpt
I wasn't naughty _this_ time, he said,
human
I knew the way to Boston, and Prue felt so lonesome 'thout Randy that I was goin' ter take her there.
gpt
Never mind that, my boy, Uncle Joshua answered,
human
There, there, don't cry, Prue, ye're all safe now. See, I have ye in my arms, an' soon we'll be home with mother an' Aunt Prudence.
gpt
But if you take me home now, wailed Prue,
human
But mother's 'bout sick a worryin' sence ye went off with Hi and didn't tell where ye was goin'. Did ye think of it, Prue, that mother misses Randy, so couldn't spare ye, too?
gpt
Oh, I never thought, Prue answered,
human
I wanted to see my Randy, but I didn't 'member that if I went to Boston there wouldn't be any girls 't all in our house.
