I've just come in from the stable. Have you been out all night? You've nearly ridden the mare to death.
gpt
Don't vex yourself, my good Bertie, he said.
human
The mare will be all right after a feed.
gpt
Will she? growled Bertie.
human
She is half dead from exhaustion anyway.
gpt
Oh, skittles!
human
Skittles to you! I know what I'm saying. And if you're not ashamed of yourself, you damned well ought to be!
gpt
What?
human
Will you repeat that last remark of yours?
gpt
Or do you prefer to withdraw it?
human
Do you withdraw it?
gpt
Oh, get away, Nap! he growled.
human
Yes--sorry I spoke. Now clear out and leave me alone!
