Chadbourne.
You won't need me, though, I'm sure.
Things seem to be all quiet at the station.
Second Sentry.
(As he goes out)
Ass!
Haskell.
We'll break camp to-morrow, I suppose
Chadbourne.
That's what I had in mind a while ago!
I'm glad you spoke of it. When they pass these gates,
You be here, Haskell, and you get me word.
I want to be the first to break the news
To Egerton and the Governor; want to say:
'I have the honor to report to you,
Your Excellency,
And it gives me pleasure to announce to you
Upon the occasion of the opening
Of your new mansion, Colonel Egerton,
This bit of news, sir, from the military,
And I offer it with our congratulations,
The strike is over——'
