Anything wrong?
gpt
Nothing. I was only--a little surprised to hear people talking, that's all. I thought we had the room to ourselves.
human
So did I at first, but it seems two countrymen of yours are before us. I wonder if they have had adventures to equal ours? Probably we shall find out at dinner, for this looks the sort of hotel to herd its guests together at one long table.
gpt
I'm too tired to dine in public, said he, still in the same muffled voice.
human
I shall have something to eat in my room--if I ever get one.
gpt
If that's your game, said I,
human
I'll play it with you. We'll ask them to give us a sitting-room of sorts, and we'll dine there together like kings.
gpt
No, no. You must go down. I shall have my dinner in bed. I'm worn out. What are--those men at the other end of the room like?
human

gpt
One is dark, the other fair, with a deep cleft in his chin, and a nose so straight it might have been ruled. Better take a look at them. Perhaps you may have met at home.
human
All the more reason for not looking, said the Boy.

Thank goodness, here comes the landlord.
