Miserable weather, Pickle; but never mind. We must settle down to a good morning's work in the laboratory.
gpt
Oh no, not yet, uncle; we don't seem to have started. It will only be a makeshift.
human
But we might put things a little more straight, boy.
gpt
Oh no, uncle; they are too straight now, and I want to go on deck.
human
Bah! It isn't fit. Wait till the weather holds up.
gpt
Oh, I shall dress up accordingly, uncle. But I say, where does all the rain come from? It must be falling in millions of tons everywhere.
human
Ah, you might as well ask me where the wind comes from. Study up some book on meteorology.
gpt
Oh yes, I will, uncle; but not yet.
human
Very well; be off.
