What do you call that thing?
gpt
That, sir, is my patent water boiler.
human
Oh!
gpt
What did you think it was?
human
I thought it was a steam engine. I didn't know but you were going to start a sawmill out here. Good place for one, isn't it?
gpt
There is plenty of material here,
human
Say, what are you doing?
gpt
I am getting breakfast.
human
Yes, but your motions are suspicious. That's the way my aunt acts when she is cleaning fish.
gpt
I am cleaning fish.
human
Look!
gpt
Don't! Don't! I can't stand it to be tortured this way!
human
What's the matter with you?
gpt
Don't torture me by playing such ghastly jokes on my appetite,
human
You must be crazy. This is a trout that I caught this morning from the lake, with a rig I made. There are two apiece. If two of these fat fellows don't satisfy your appetite I don't know what will.
gpt
Yeow!
human
Stop your nonsense. Go get two nice hard-wood sticks about two feet long, and a half inch thick. Peel them and give them to me.
gpt
What are you going to do?
human
Oh, don't ask so many questions, unless you don't care about breakfast.
gpt
Don't care about breakfast? fairly shrieked the fat boy.
human
I'd sell my shirt for a full meal right now.
gpt
I will let you off cheaper than that, laughed Butler.
human
Dump some coffee into the coffee pot. You know how much to put in. What about those sticks?
