Are you the only ones saved from the wreck?

I trust that we are not, Geoffrey replied.

The master of the boat tied us to a mast as soon as she struck, and he and the two men with him were going to try to get to shore in the same way.

I am sorry I must turn you out, he said, as if somewhat ashamed of his want of courtesy.

Any other day it would be different, but to-day I cannot take anyone in.
gpt
I thank you for what you have given us, Geoffrey said.
human
Can you tell us which is the way to the ferry?
gpt
Follow the road and it will take you there. About a couple of miles. You cannot mistake the way.

This is a curious affair, Geoffrey said,

So do I, Lionel agreed.
