Uncle Porges--why do you frown so?
gpt
Frown, my Porges,--did I? Well, I was thinking.
human
Well, I'm thinking too, only I don't frown, you know, but I'm thinking just the same.
gpt
And what might you be thinking, nephew?
human
Why I was thinking that although you're so awful fond of goose-berries, an' though there's lots of ripe ones on the bushes I've never seen you eat a single one.
gpt
Look at the moon to-night, Uncle Porges!
human
I see it.
gpt
It's awfull' big, an' round, isn't it?
human
Yes, it's very big, and very round.
gpt
An'--rather--yellow, isn't it?
human
Very yellow!
gpt
Just like a great, big golden sovereign, isn't it
human
Very much like a sovereign, my Porges.
gpt
Well, do you know, I was wondering--if there was any chance that it was a--Money Moon?
