How well you play, dear! said Natalie, the wheedler.
gpt
Isn't it nice to have music away up here! Try something else.
human
Two Little Girls in Blue.
gpt
Discourages listeners,
human
So, she continued presently,
gpt
Couldn't I go for you?
human
I have promised,
gpt
It was a promise given in ignorance of the conditions, Garth persisted with rough tenderness.
human
This wild country is no place for you. I could not bear to see you wet and hungry and cold and tired, and all that is before us--besides dangers we may not suspect.
gpt
Clumsy man! she cried--but there was tenderness in her scorn too.
human
Do you think this is persuading me not to go? I'm not a doll; I won't spoil with a little rough handling! If you only knew how I longed to experience the real; to work for my living, to get under the surface of things!
gpt
As soon as the steamboat casts off, and it's too late to turn back, I will tell you what I have to do up there.
human
Pain Killer and
gpt
Golden Discovery.
human
I may take a run up to the Warehouse, he said guardedly, in answer to the question.
gpt
I'll let you know to-morrow.
human
Aren't you sure of going?
gpt
Never sure of nothing in this world,
human
Haven't you freight to go up?
gpt
Plenty of freight offered me, said the skipper coolly.
human
Plenty to go down-stream too.
gpt
But it's highly important I should know what you're going to do,
human
No water in the river,
gpt
Then you're _not_ going,
human
Didn't say so, said Captain Jack.
gpt
May rain shortly, and bring her up an inch or so.
human
Do you mean I've got to wait around here indefinitely on the bare chance of its raining?
gpt
Told the Bishop I'd bring you up, said Captain Jack in his detached way.
human
Reckon I can't break my word to the Church.
gpt
Well, why didn't you say so in the beginning? said Garth, wondering if this was a joke.
human
When will you be starting?
gpt
Oh, to-morrow, maybe, said the skipper without suspecting the least humour in the situation;
human
Company.
