Student. I tell you I don’t know you.

Voice. O, yes, you do.

Student. Tell me quick. Who are you?

Voice. Your old school-fellow, Tom ——; you know me.

Student. Why, he’s in Canada.

Voice. (Sharply.) You know better; he’s here; but be quick.

Student. (Opening the lid.) Perhaps he’s come by the underground railroad. Hallo!

Voice. (Not so muffled as described in direction.) Now, then, give us a hand.

Student. (Closing the lid or door sharply.) No, I won’t.

Voice. (As before.) Have pity (Dick, or Mr. ——, as the case may be), or I shall be choked.
