Hallo, old beeswax, where are you bound for?
gpt
For the village,
human
Are you going to take the tow-path?
gpt
The tow-path! I don't know what you mean.
human
Are you going to ride shanks' horses?
gpt
I don't understand that, either.
human
Oh, you are a bass-wood man, indeed, said James, with a taunting laugh.
gpt
Are you going to _walk_? Do you think you can comprehend me now?
human
Yes, answered Frank,
gpt
I can understand you when you talk English. No, I am not going to walk.
human
Then I'll go with you, if you will leave that dog at home.
gpt
I don't see what objections you can have to his company. He always goes with me.
human
I suppose you think more of him than you do of your relations; but I'm going with you, at any rate.
