What are you doing this morning?
gpt
I have, he said,
human
As a matter of fact, said his wife,
gpt
To carry the string-bag. I know. And we can get the chops at the same time. We'd better take some newspaper with us. And a perambulator.
human
Tell you what, said Jonah,
gpt
That's rather an idea, said my sister.
human
And they wear for ever.
gpt
You're sure of that, aren't you? said Berry.
human
I mean, I shouldn't like her to have to get a new one in about six hundred years. I like a present to last.
gpt
How d'you spell 'business'?
human
Personally, said I,
gpt
I don't. It's one of the words I avoid. If you must, I should write it down both ways and see what it looks like.
human
Wrong number, for a fiver, said Jonah.
gpt
They always do it about this time.
human
Have I got a taxi! My dear fellow, I've got a whole school of them. Would you like a Renault or a baby grand? What? Oh, I'm afraid I couldn't send it at once. You see, I've only got one boy, and he's having his hair cut. I can post it to you, and I should think you'll get it to-morrow morning. No, I'm not mad. No, I'm not the cab-rank, either. Well, you should have asked me. Never mind. Let's talk of something else. I wonder if you're interested in rock-worms.... I beg your pardon.... Gravely he restored the receiver to its perch.
gpt
Not interested, he added for our information.
human
He didn't actually say so, but from the directions he gave concerning them--happily, I may say, quite impracticable----
gpt
Talking of telephoning, said Jonah uncertainly,
human
So we have, said my sister.
gpt
Wednesday week, isn't it? Let's see.
