Why, that's a donkey with panniers, and a spaniel, and partridges in the corn! he exclaimed.
gpt
Oh, my buttons! I wish I could draw like that. I'm to learn drawing this half. I wonder if I shall learn to make dogs and donkeys!
human
Oh, you can do them without learning, said Philip;
gpt
I never learned drawing.
human
Never learned? said Tom, in amazement.
gpt
Why, when I make dogs and horses, and those things, the heads and the legs won't come right, though I can see how they ought to be very well. I can make houses, and all sorts of chimneys--chimneys going all down the wall, and windows in the roof, and all that. But I dare say I could do dogs and horses if I was to try more,
human
Oh yes, said Philip,
gpt

human
My father wishes me to give all my time to other things now.
gpt
What! Latin, and Euclid, and those things?
human
Yes,
