Whom have you there?
gpt
We found this youngster over yonder in that bit of woods, General Percy, said one of the soldiers.
human
He was sitting there, eating a lunch, and when we appeared and asked him who he was and where he came from, he seemed frightened and could make no satisfactory answer.
gpt
I wasn't frightened, any such thing! said Tom, his eyes flashing.
human
I am not frightened even now, sir. I was surprised, for they came upon me so suddenly, and the leaped at me as if I were a desperado, and naturally I may have seemed a bit confused in my answers to their questions. But I wasn't frightened, sir.
gpt
So you were not afraid, eh? he remarked.
human
Well, if you are not a rebel spy or an enemy to the king, there is no reason that you should be afraid. What is your name?
gpt
Tom Dare, sir.
