Did you see his teeth, Uncle Porges?
gpt
I did.
human
He only smiles like that when he's awful' angry, said Small Porges shaking his head as the galloping hoof-strokes died away in the distance,
gpt
An' what do you s'pose he went back for?
human
Well, Porges, it's in my mind that he has gone back to warn our Auntie Anthea of our coming.
gpt
Tired, my Porges?
human
Just a bit, you know,--but it isn't that. I was thinking that the day has almost gone, an' I haven't found a bit of the fortune yet.
gpt
Why there's always to-morrow to live for, my Porges.
human
Yes, 'course--there's always to-morrow; an' then,--I did find you, you know, Uncle Porges.
gpt
To be sure you did, and an uncle is better than nothing at all, isn't he,--even if he is rather dusty and disreputable of exterior. One doesn't find an uncle every day of one's life, my Porges, no sir!
human
An' you are so nice an' big, you know!
gpt
Long, would be a better word, perhaps,
human
An' wide, too!
