Have you been to breakfast?
gpt
No, sir; I was told that I'd get my grub here.
human
Then why didn't you 'tend to it when you first came in?
gpt
I suppose you hadn't thought you might be needing something to eat?
human
It would have been no great matter, sir. I've got along until noon a good many days without anythin', an' can do it again.
gpt
There's no need of that here, my son. Remember to get your meals on time, for regularity of habits,--although that will become a luxury if you are ever made a fireman,--regularity of habits is quite as necessary for the strength and building up of your body as any exercise you can take here. So far as possible eat at the same hour each day; go to bed early, get up early, and at all times see to it that your body is properly cared for. When did you have a bath last?
human
It's been quite a spell since I went in swimmin', sir.
gpt
Well, you can begin the day with that. Use plenty of cold water, and I reckon the towels are coarse enough. Then get your breakfast, come up here, and go to work.
human
At anything special, sir?
gpt
Whatever you see that's needed to be done.
