Hello, he called out. Kenneth stopped and waited for him to come up.

I'm off pretty soon for my place below town. Would you care to come along? It's only about eight miles. I want to arrange with Martin Hawk for a duck shooting trip the end of the week. He looks after my lean-to down there, and he is the keenest duck hunter in these parts. Better come along.

I am moving into my house to-day and that's going to keep me pretty busy.
human
Well, how would you like to go out with us a little later on for ducks?
gpt
I'd like to, very much. That is, after I've got thoroughly settled in my new office, shingles painted, and so forth. Mighty good of you to ask me.
