From this aspect, said Ben,
gpt
I have no hesitation in saying that those are the backs that stole the bags.
human
Make a note of that, Gentlemen of the jury,
gpt
The identity of the bag-stealers bein' now settled, went on Bill,
human
I shall kindly ask Sir Benjimen to step down, and call on Sir Samuel Sawnoff to ascend the witness-box.
gpt
Now, Sir Samuel, said Bill, impressively,
human
I am about to ask you a most important leadin' question. Do you happen to notice such a thing as a Puddin' in the precinks of the Court?
gpt
Do my eyes deceive me, or is yon object a Puddin'?
human
Well acted, said the Mayor, and the Constable clapped loudly.
gpt
I am now about to ask you another leadin' question, said Bill.
human
Do you recognize that Puddin'?
gpt
That Puddin', sir, an' me have sailed the seas, Known tropic suns, and braved the Artic breeze. We've heard on Popocatepetl's peak The savage Tom-Tom sharpenin' of his beak. We've served the dreadful Jim-Jam up on toast, When shipwrecked off the Coromandel coast, And when we heard the frightful Bim-Bam rave, Have plunged beneath the Salonican wave. We've delved for Bulbuls' eggs on coral strands, And chased the Pompeydon in distant lands. That Puddin', sir, and me, has, back to back, Withstood the fearful Rumty Tums' attack, And swum the Indian Ocean for our lives, Pursued by Oysters, armed with oyster knives. Let me but say, e'er these adventures cloy, I've knowed that Puddin' since he were a boy.
human
All lies, sang out the Puddin', looking over the rim of his basin.
gpt
For well you know that you and old Bill Barnacle collared me off Curry and Rice after rollin him off the iceberg.
human
Albert, Albert, said Bill, sternly.
gpt
Where's your manners interruptin' Sir Samuel in that rude way, and him a-performin' like an actor for your deliverance!
human
You shall stay there, Albert, till the case is well and truly tried by these here noble Peers of the Realm assembled,
gpt
Too much style about you, said the Puddin', rudely, and he threw the Judge's glass of port into Bill's face, remarking:
human
Take that, for being a pumpkin-headed old shellback.
gpt
Time, time; we can't stand here all day.
human
I call on Detective Bluegum to restore order in the Court.
gpt
From information received, it has been discovered that the Puddin' was poisoned at ten-thirty this morning.
