It's a pity, baron, to write in that wonderful diary of yours with a lead pencil.
gpt
How did you see me?
human
I didn't, I haven't seen you yet.
gpt
But you knew I was writing in my diary?
human
Because you were so absorbed that you did not hear me stir.
gpt
Humph! And the lead pencil?
human
I heard you sharpen it. That was just before you stopped to eat the orange.
gpt
What's the matter? Your eyes are shut.
human
It amuses me to keep them shut. Do you mind?
gpt
Singular man! mattered the other.
human
What makes you think I ate an orange?
gpt
I got the smell of it when you tore the peel off and I heard the seeds drop.
human
Where do you think you are?
gpt
In a deep underground room where you store firewood.
human
Extraordinary!
gpt
Not at all. The floor is covered with chips of it and this bag is full of shavings.
human
How do you know we are underground?
gpt
By the smell of the floor and because you need a candle when it's full daylight above.
human
Then you know what time it is?
gpt
Why--er--I can tell by looking. He opened his eyes.
human
Ah, it's earlier than I thought, it's barely seven.
gpt
How the devil do you know that?
