I say, Dick, he whispered,
gpt
I couldn't sleep to-night, and I went to the window and looked out.
human
So did I. Well, what of that? Here, be quick and go, or father will hear you, and we shall get into trouble.
gpt
There's going to be something done to-night.
human
What! the horses again, or a fire?
gpt
I don't know, only I'm sure I saw two men creep along on their hands and knees down to the water.
human
Pigs,
gpt
They weren't. Think I can't tell a man from a pig!
human
Not in the dark.
gpt
I tell you they were men.
human
Pigs!
gpt
Men! and they went down to the water.
human
To drink, stupid! They were pigs! They look just like men crawling in the dark!
gpt
Pigs don't get in punts and pole themselves along the mere!
human
You didn't see two men get in a punt and pole themselves along!
gpt
No, but I heard them quite plain.
human
Well, and suppose you did, what then?
gpt
I don't know. Only I couldn't sleep, and I was obliged to come over to you.
human
And wake me out of a beautiful sleep! What was that you threw in?
gpt
Stone!
human
Then now go back, and don't come here in the night to get me into trouble! What's the good of going and dreaming such stuff and then coming along the dark road to tell me? What's that?
