He needn't have been in such a hurry, Pickle, said the doctor.
gpt
I should have liked to have questioned him a little.
human
Yes, uncle. I should like to hear about such things; but it was like his impudence to say that I should be afraid!
gpt
Yes, my boy; it was rude, replied the doctor thoughtfully,
human
Ah! It's such a chance as might never occur again. A guide like that isn't always to be picked up.
gpt
No, uncle, replied the boy;
human
Yes, my boy; wonderfully interesting,
gpt
But we couldn't go, uncle.
human
Why, Pickle? Why?
gpt
Because we couldn't go away and leave the brig like that.
human
No; of course not, my boy. It would be too bad, wouldn't it? And of course we couldn't go and trust ourselves to a pack of strangers, eh?
gpt
We shouldn't be afraid, should we, uncle?
human
Well, no, my boy; no. But I don't think it would be prudent. But there, there, we mustn't think of it. We can't do everything we like.
