It's a conspiracy! he barked.
gpt
You're a nice sort of great-grandson, George! What the devil . . . ?
human
Come, now, I said, quietly.
gpt
Don't lose your temper. I'm fed up with this monkey-gland business and I want to get back to civilization. You can come later, if you prefer. What point is there in my remaining here any longer?
human
None. . . . I don't even know why you came.
gpt
That's merely spiteful! I caught three times as many monkeys as you. . . .
human
They were not monkeys. They were gorillas--_apes_! Don't be so supercilious! Can't you find anything better to do than keep up this thin trickle of sneers at the old people?
gpt
Not if I stay here! I replied.
human
They get on my nerves--with their chest smacking and all their other feeble imitations of youth.
gpt
You wait until you're old!
human
I'd rather die first!
