LIZBETH. Dave thinks all night.
EM'LY. [To JIM, putting him around.] Where have you been?
JIM. St. Louis. Been to see the railroad people. Say, Joe!
JOE. Yes?
JIM. Sam's got the express people scared.
JOE. How's that?
JIM. Hearin' I was his friend, they hinted to me that they'd like to square it.
JOE. Compromise.
