Nice, isn't it, uncle?
gpt
Nice! grumbled Uncle Paul.
human
I don't know what I was thinking about to give way to you in such treacherous weather. Why, it's worse than ever. How are we going to get back to the schooner?
gpt
Oh, it will soon be over, uncle, and if it isn't we must get to know where the nearest place is from that sentry, and make a rush for it to get some tea, and wait there till the shower is over.
human
Shower! said Uncle Paul.
gpt
It looks to me like a night of storm coming on, and as if we shan't get back to the schooner to-night.
human
Well, it doesn't matter, uncle, cried the boy coolly.
gpt
There's sure to be a good hotel, and Captain Chubb will know why we haven't come back. As soon as there's a bit of a lull we will make a run for it, and we shall be able to get a lesson in French.
human
Bah! said Uncle Paul impatiently.

How the wind comes whistling through this archway! We shall be getting wet even here.
