Sally, he said suddenly,
gpt
Would he have flown away?
human
Wrong, cried the professor, getting up and walking to the window.
gpt
Guess again.
human
I don't know,
gpt
Wrong again. Next! Charlie!
human
What?
gpt
What would my little lizard have done this morning?
human
Little lizard would take his little snow-shovel and shovel a great big place-- he began. Then an idea seemed to strike him and he stopped with his mouth open.
gpt
No, he cried;
human
Very possibly, Charlie. That's the nearest answer, so far. The professor turned and regarded his son curiously.
gpt
I should really like to know how you arrived at that conclusion.
human
Lizard died a long time ago, Charlie answered.
gpt
Couldn't wake up this morning because you've got the bones upstairs.
human
A very just observation, he remarked.
gpt
You have a logical mind, Charles.
human
I'm through my breakfast, he announced.
gpt
Want to shovel.
human
You forget our programme, Charlie, said his father.
gpt
We are to loaf now. It is always best to eat slowly, masticate your food well, refrain from drinking when you are thirsty, and stand for half an hour after eating. There are other things which I forget. But we will loaf now.
