I s'pose we shan't see very much of you now you're gettin' so high up in the Department, eh?
gpt
You'll see me all my spare time, providin' you an' Bill still agree to go to school, 'cause I've got to duf into study in great shape now, an' we'll be together every evening.

Got to do it now? What else has come up?
gpt
Mr. Fernald has put me right into the drill, an' I don't have to tackle the odd jobs any more.
human
Are you a fireman already?
gpt
Of course not; but I'm to be drilled the same as if I was, an' in case I show sand enough you'll see me in the exhibition drill that's to be given on the street next spring.

Say, but you're gettin' there with both feet, eh?
