You did n't know father had given all the pups but one to me, did you, Oscar?
gpt
No,--has he, though?
human
Yes, he has. I knew I could make him say yes, and so I teased him till he did. He 's going to pick out one, to keep, and I 'm to have all the rest.
gpt
That's first-rate, said Oscar;
human
Yes, you may have one, replied Alfred;
gpt
Then I 'll pay you for mine, continued Oscar;
human
I can get the money out of father, I guess.
gpt
No, you shan't pay for it, for I meant you should have one of them, if you wanted it,
human
Thank you, said Oscar,
gpt
I should like one very much.
