Captain Alden,

You're next, Major!
human
I'm ready! exclaimed the major.
gpt

gpt
No, liquor, Major, the Master answered, shaking his head.
human
Can't you see for yourself all the wine-sacks are cut?
gpt
Cut, is it? Well, well, so they are! The major blinked redly. Obviously his confused mind had not grasped the situation.

human
Take your wine-skin and jump!

gpt

human
Yes, the woman answered.
gpt
You and I, at last!
