Enter Crossin.

Crossin. I wonder where McSwegan is? He promised to meet me here. As I was coming around the corner a little girl looked at me in the face, and says: “There’s General Grant.” I looked around and says: “You lie, sis,” but I don’t think she seen the point. Another little fellow says: “Stag the Mick with the lantern jaw.”

Enter McSwegan.

McS. Good-morning, Barney.

Cros. Good-afternoon.

McS. What kept you so quick?

Cros. I couldn’t come any later.

McS. Have you had any trouble lately at your home?

Cros. Yes, we had a railroad accident.
