Morning, sir! he cried.
gpt
I was just wishing that you would come on board.
human
Bah! exclaimed Uncle Paul.
gpt
What wants doing now?
human
Nothing. Not as I know of.
gpt
Oh, are you sure? said Uncle Paul sarcastically,
human
Sartin, unless you have got some more bottles or cranky tackle to be stowed away, sir.
gpt
Oh, indeed, said Uncle Paul shortly.
human
You don't mean to say you have done at last?
gpt
Me, sir? Why, I was ready six months ago, only you had always got some new scheme you wanted fitted in.
human
Ah, well, never mind about that now, cried Uncle Paul.
gpt
Then we may set sail any day?
human
Ah, well, we won't go to-night,
gpt
Only give your orders, sir, said the captain shortly.
human
Like to take a look round now? Fresh provisions are all on board.
gpt
Oh no, said Uncle Paul,
human
I know it all by heart.
gpt
Looks a beauty now, don't she, sir?
human
Oh yes, she looks very well. Here, Rodd, come down with me into the work-room.
