Hallo! said Swinstead to Heathcote,
gpt
Asleep,
human
Have you been in?
gpt
Yes.
human
Can you swim?
gpt
Yes, a little, said Gosse, answering for him.
human
We're about equal.
gpt
Why, you can't swim once across! he said, scornfully,
human
Ha, ha! said Swinstead,
gpt

human
I'll swim you across the pool and back, first!
gpt
That's fair, said Birket.
human
Come on, strip.
gpt
I'm not going in again, he said;
human
I've got a cold.
gpt
Yes, you are, replied Birket;
human
I'll help you.
gpt
Now then! plenty of room for both of you on the board.
human
No, said Gosse;
gpt
I've not got any cotton wool for my ears. I don't care about going in off the board unless I have.
human
That's soon remedied,
