Good little chap, said I, stroking his heaving flank.

It didn't take you long to get a move on.

You darling! said Jill, stooping to caress him
gpt
The way you went after that car was just heroic.
human
I suppose, said Berry,
gpt
What a shame! cried Daphne and Jill in a breath.
human
What a beastly shame!
gpt
I said so, said Berry.

Now, if I'd got out and chased it, you'd have had me certified.
gpt
I agree, I retorted.
human
And if you were to offer to walk to Marvel instead of me, I should have you watched.
gpt
Don't be afraid, was the rejoinder.

The shock was severe, but I'm not as bad as that. How soon d'you think you'll be back?
gpt
I'm banking on being able to get a car. But there mayn't be one. So, if you can get a lift, don't wait. I pointed to Nobby.

human
All right, dear. Take it as easy as you can.
