What's the matter, sir?
gpt
Teddy,
human
Oh, that boy again! What is it?
gpt
Jupiter tossed him.
human
Where is he?
gpt
Maybe in the river. Help me look for him up here. They are searching for him on the other side of the boat.
human
Here he is. Ahoy, boat! Go and get the gangway. I have the boy here,
gpt
Is he hurt?
human
I don't know. I'll tell you when I get him untangled. He seems to be standing on his head. Lucky if his neck isn't broken.
gpt
Teddy's neck is too tough to be easily broken. I think he is merely stunned,
human
Did January kick me?
gpt
No; Jupiter threw you up here. Are you hurt?
human
Hurt?
gpt
Yes.
human
I'm worse than that. I'm like the carpenter who swallowed a tape measure. I'm dying by inches.
gpt
Take care of him, Phil. I must get back. There is trouble down there.
human
You're all right, Teddy. What is the trouble down there?
gpt
Oh, Phil!
human
Yes.
gpt
Can you come down here?
human
Of course. What is it?
gpt
Mr. Sparling wants you.
human
I'll be right there.
