What's up, Blundy?
gpt
I'm awfully hungry,
human
Why don't you have some grub?
gpt
Doctors won't let me, said he.

You see, a week ago I happened to eat something that disagreed with me. Between me and you, said he,
gpt
Do you know, said I,
human
My dear boy, said he,
gpt
I'm awfully sorry. I feel for you. I wish I hadn't done it--sincerely. But a fellow must live. Really, I sympathise with you; let me grasp your hand.
human
Not if I know it, you cad, said I;
gpt
That's another thing that troubles me, said he.
human
Tell me, did she wear a brocaded silk gown with beads? Most unlucky for us both! Beads never did agree with me. It's a warning to both of us to be more particular. Really, you _must_ let me grasp your hand.
gpt
Not much! said I.
human
Look here, Blunderbore, I mean to show you up. I'll let some of our fellows know about you, and you see if they don't make you sit up before long.
gpt
I feel much more like lying down, said he.
human
Would you mind handing me that medicine bottle?
gpt
Don't you wish _you_ may get it!
