ACT I, SCENE VIII
1. In France, when you check your baggage, they give you a paper[1] slip. 2. A bell rings[2] when the train is about to[3] start. 3. Thrifty people[4] put down[5] their traveling expenses in a note-book. 4. Those who forget where they have put their things[6] often scold others[7]. 5. «What is the proper tip for a porter?» «We might give him four cents, but let us make it ten cents.» 6. «I must have left my valise in the waiting-room. I will go after[8] it. 7. At last I have found it.» «It is time you had!» 8. When the bell rings, passengers run up, are stopped by the man at the waiting-room door who wants to see their tickets, and pass in.
