Good-morning,
gpt
I suppose it's daylight outside by this time?
human
Yes, it was daylight five hours ago,
gpt
Well, it's pleasant to know even that. What am I to do for the rest of the day, I want to know?
human
Whatever you please.
gpt
A wide margin; the only thing I would please to do, if I could, would be to go out and walk home. That, I suppose, is against the rules?
human
Yes; but there are books and drawing materials; you can amuse yourself with them.
gpt
Thankee; poor amusement, but better than none, I expect Who is commander here, the captain I heard them speak of?
human
My husband,
gpt
And where is he now? I should like to have a talk with him, and have things straightened out a little if possible.
human
He is absent, and will not be back for some days.
gpt
Hum! this is, then, the hiding-place of the smugglers they make such a fuss about--eh?
human
Yes, they are smugglers--worse, perhaps,
gpt
There! I knew I'd find it; I always said so! exclaimed Pet, exultantly.
human
Oh, if I could only get out! See here, I wish you would let me escape!
