Get up and be off with you, you lazy tramp,
gpt
I'm not a tramp, guv'nor,
human
Then I'm no farmer, you skulker;
gpt
Steady, man, steady. Keep your temper. I'm a mechanic on my way to a job in Osnabr𡡷k. My boy and I lost our way in the wood yonder and came here to ask the road. Finding the place empty, we decided to doss it till daylight. My mate's only a youngster and was regularly done up.
human
You look dirty enough for a tramp anyhow, he growled.
gpt
I'm pestered with them. Got any money on you?
human
Hope so. More than enough to pay for this sort of bed. Times are pretty good with us chaps now;
gpt
I don't want any of it. What sort of a mechanic do you call yourself?
human
Motors and aeroplanes and that sort of thing.
gpt
The devil you are! he exclaimed, and, after a pause:
human
Care to earn a mark or two?
gpt
Don't mind if I do? How?
human
My motor's in the lane yonder, and something's gone wrong with it. Do you think you could patch it up?
gpt
I'll have a look at it for you. I'd better get what tools I have with me. They're with my lad.
