It won't be long before we are there,
gpt
That is so,
human
You'll be feeling fine, I'm thinking, when you get your own clothes on again.
gpt
I have not missed them very much.
human
I hope your wings and your grand gear will be all right.
gpt
Why should you doubt it?
human
What, said Patsy,
gpt
They were robbed,
human
Eh!
gpt
Aye, indeed,
human
You're full of fun, said he sourly.

What are you talking about at all?
human

The stomach has to be filled, said Caeltia.
gpt
Its filling is a necessity superior to any proprietarial right or disciplinary ethic, and its problem is difficult only for children; it is filled by the air and the wind, the rain and the clay, and the tiny lives that move in the clay.

You're trying to talk like Finaun,
