Sit down, Griggs, he said.
gpt
There are no more chairs, so we can keep the table to ourselves. I hope you are half as thirsty as I am.
human
Rather more than half, answered the other, and he drank eagerly.
gpt
Give me some more, please,
human
I see that you are in the right humour to hear good news, said the Scot.
gpt
Reanda is to marry my daughter in the summer.
human
I congratulate you all three, said Griggs, slowly, for he had known what was coming.
gpt
Let us drink the health of the couple.
human
By all means, answered Dalrymple, filling again.
gpt
By all means let us drink. I could not swallow that sweet stuff at Mendoza's. This is better. By all means let us drink as much as we can.
human
That might mean a good deal, said Griggs, quickly, and he drained a third glass.
gpt
Were you ever drunk, Dalrymple?
human
No. I never was,
gpt
Nor I. This seems a fitting occasion for trying an experiment. We might try to get drunk.
human
By all means, let us try, replied Dalrymple.
gpt
I have my doubts about the possibility of the thing, however.
human
So have I.
