Chilblains, sir? came severely from Professor Such.
gpt
Sir--sir, do not attempt to be facetious with me! You will regret it if you do!
human
I--I don't think I--I understood your--your question, stammered Harry.
gpt
I'm a little heard of haring--I mean hard of hearing.
human
I asked you what was the matter with your face, sir.
gpt
Oh, my face! Ha! ha! He! he! I thought you said something about my pace, because I was walking so slowly. That made me fancy you were interested to know what ails my feet. Excuse me! I beg your pardon, professor!
human
Hum! coughed the professor, again scratching his chin with the tip of his finger, while he peered through his spectacles, plainly still somewhat suspicious.
gpt
It is rather remarkable that you should get things mixed in such a manner.
human
I am not feeling well, professor, not at all.
gpt
You are not looking well, came somewhat sarcastically from Professor Such's lips.
human
Your countenance has a strangely mottled hue.
gpt
It comes from Injun jestion,
human
Eh? From what, sir.
gpt
From indigestion, said Frank, very soberly.
human
He is much troubled that way.
gpt
Much troubled! much troubled! exclaimed the professor, whose ear had been offended and who immediately turned his attention on Frank.
human
I advise you to be somewhat more choice and careful of your language, young man. There is a right and a wrong use of words.
gpt
Bless me! we'll be late if we're not careful!
human
How dare you howl before me?
gpt
Excuse me, said Rattleton.
human
I didn't know you wanted to howl first.
