Mornin', ma'am, said Cap'n Amazon, not at all embarrassed.
gpt
What can I do for you, ma'am?
human
You--you are not Captain Silt?
gpt
Yes, ma'am; I am.
human
Captain Abram Silt?
gpt
No, ma'am; I ain't. I'm Cap'n Am'zon, his brother. What can I do for you?
human
Is--is my niece, Louise Grayling, here?
gpt
said the captain, clearing his throat.
human
Who did you say you was, ma'am?
gpt
I did not say, the visitor answered stiffly enough now.
human
I asked you a question.
gpt
Likely--likely, agreed Cap'n Amazon.
human
But you intimated that you was the a'nt of a party by the name of Grayling. I happen to be her uncle myself. Her mother was my ha'f-sister. I don't remember--jest _who'd_ you say you was, ma'am?
gpt
I am her father's own sister,
human
Oh, yes! I see! murmured Cap'n Amazon.
gpt
Then you must be her A'nt 'Phemie. I've heard Louise speak of you. Tubbesure!
human
I am Mrs. Conroth,
gpt
Happy to make your acquaintance,
