When the day is closing o'er us, U-ra-li-o, U-ra-li-o, And the landscape fades before us, U-ra-li-o, U-ra-li-o, When our merry men quit their mowing, And along the glen horns are blowing, Sweetly then we'll raise the chorus, U-ra-li-o, U-ra-li-o.

I say, old man, he cried,
human
Really, I don't know, laughed Frank.
gpt
What do you think?
human
I--I mean wh-what do you think?
gpt
Why, I think a great many things. What's up, anyway?
human
You know Diamond?
gpt
The fellow they call Jack?
human
Yes.
gpt
I should say so! It was his bull pup that chewed a piece out of the leg of my trousers. I kicked the dog downstairs, and Diamond came near having a fit over it. He's got a peppery temper, and he was ready to murder me. I reckon he thought I should have taken off my trousers and given them to the dog to chew.
human
He's a Southerner--from Virginia. He's a dangerous chap, Frank--just as lief eat as fight--I mean fight as eat. He's been in town to-night, drinking beer with the boys, and he's in a mighty ugly mood. He says you insulted him.
gpt
Is that so?
human
It's just so, and he's going to dallenge you to a chewel--I mean challenge you to a duel.
gpt
What sort of a duel?
human
Why, a regular duel with deadly weapons. He's awfully in earnest, Frank, and he means to kill you if you don't apologize. All the fellows are backing him; they think you will not fight.
gpt
Is that so? Looking for me to show the white feather, are they? Well, I like that!
human
But you can't fight him! I tell you he's a fire eater! I've heard that his father killed a man in a duel.
gpt
And that makes the son dangerous! No, Harry, I can't afford to--What's all that racket?
human
They're coming, Frank! he exclaimed.
gpt
It's the whole gang, and Diamond is with them. He means to force you to fight or squeal!
