Hezekiah. Who said that?
Sally. The angels were lookin’!
Hezekiah. You tell him he’s a liar!
Barney. (To Hez.) It’s some poor thing that’s crazy from bein’ insane.
Hezekiah. Yes, we know’ you’re a big ingin. (Offers her a bottle.) Have some firewater? (Sally takes and pockets bottle.)
Sally. So has the dignity of my mission been insulted: you shall die now! Cowards, you have two minutes to live! Take off your hats and coats. (Both comply.) It were unworthy for you to die in the Union blue! One minute more! (Holds her watch in her hand.)
Barney. Stop! Will you take two months pay?
Sally. How long shall I be insulted thus?
Hezekiah. Have you ever bin a father or mother?
