Come in,

Well?
human
If you please, sir, said a piping little voice, which I knew could come from only Willie MacDougald,
gpt
Yes?
human
Yes, sir, and they said it was a shame for him to ruin his complexion by a-walking all night.
gpt
What else?
human
Yes, sir, and he was asleep all morning--at least, sir, he was in his berth, but I heard him groaning, sir.
gpt
Anything else?
human

And they said--
gpt

gpt
Have they laid their plans?
human

gpt
Please, sir, it was to-day you was to pay me.
human
Ah, yes.
gpt
Thank you, sir,
