It will not be easy getting down,
gpt
I suppose I deserve some trouble?
human
I really think you do, Beatrice answered with a laugh.
gpt

human
The clevis is rather small, but it's the strongest I could find,
gpt
We banked the snow up here and beat it firm, he pointed out.
human
For all that, it would be wise to keep well to the inside.
gpt
We'll shift the tackle when I get to the bend above,
human
I found the turn awkward the last time, but I see you have made it a bit easier, he said.
gpt
Well, we'd better make a start.
