gpt
Two what?

Do you take this for a Cunarder?
human

gpt
Nothing but--humph, you little land-lubbers, don’t you know this craft will beat anything else afloat?
human

gpt

human

gpt
No, but we have thick old things in our valises.
human
If you’ll take us, captain, we will pay you just what you ask. We’ll give you ten pounds,
