FIRST EPISODE.
LOCALITY—The cellar stair and the cellar.
PRESENT—DAVID and RUTH.
THE QUESTION ILLUSTRATED BY NATURE.
Ruth.
Look where you step, or you'll stumble!
Care for your coat, or you'll crock it!
Down with your crown, man! Be humble!
Put your head into your pocket,
Else something or other will knock it.
Don't hit that jar of cucumbers
Standing an the broad-stair!
They have not waked from their slumbers
Since they stood there.
David.
