Ned!
gpt
You're a sight for sore eyes,
human
What are you doing here, Ned?
gpt
Yes, I thought you lived in Nebraska,
human
So we did, but we've moved here. Father's in the Senate now. I thought you knew.
gpt
Congratulations, said Jack.
human
I guess we'll have to call you Mr. Senator, Jr., now and tip our hats to you.
gpt
Avast with that nonsense, as they don't say at sea, laughed Ned.
human
There's our house yonder,
gpt
Hullo, what's that I see on the roof?
human
That's my wireless outfit. Mother made an awful kick about having it there, but at last she gave in.
gpt
So you're still a wireless boy?
human
Yes, and I've got a dandy outfit too. Come on over. I want to introduce you to the folks.
gpt
Thanks, we will some other time, but not to-night. We don't feel fit for company. You see quite a disaster has happened to a friend of ours,
human
By jove, that is a loss, said Ned sympathetically.
gpt
I've heard dad talking about the new code. It was a very important matter.
human
We were going for a walk to discuss the whole question,
gpt
Can I join you?
human
Glad to have you,
