Youngster, you are to go to the Doctor at half-past nine.
gpt
Oh, ah! said Coote to himself, knowingly.
human
I know what that means.
gpt
Do you hear?
human
I suppose you think I'm green,
gpt
What on earth should make me think that?
human
I'm getting over the worst of it, said he to himself.
gpt
They'll soon give up trying it on me. Ha, ha!
human
Well, young 'un, said Dick, patronisingly,
gpt
You're a beastly cad, Dick, said Coote;
human
No, you're getting too knowing,
gpt
I'm not quite as green as some fellows think, said he.
human
A fellow came to me this morning and told me to go to the Doctor at 9:30. A nice fool he thought he'd make of me. Ha, ha!
gpt
What fellow was he?
human
I don't know his name, said Coote.
gpt
The fellow who marked the names in chapel, I believe.
human
What, Swinstead? Did he tell you to go?
gpt
Rather; and I told him I wasn't such a fool as I looked--I mean as he thought.
human
By Jove!--you young ass! You've got yourself into a mess, if you like.
gpt
How do you mean?
human
Why, he's Chapel usher, said Dick.
gpt
Do you mean to say you didn't go to the Doctor?
human
Rather not. I--
gpt
What's the time?
human
A quarter to ten.
