GORMAN
It's the middle bed, Master. It's my own bed.
MUSKERRY (helplessly) What bed will I take, then?
GORMAN
My bed. I won't be here.
MUSKERRY
And where are you going?
GORMAN
I'm leaving the house this day. I'll be going on the roads.
MUSKERRY Myles—Myles Gorman. The man that was without family or friends. Myles Gorman. Help me to lay down the mattress. Where will you sleep to-night, Myles Gorman?
GORMAN At Mrs. Muirnan's, a house between this and the town of Ballinagh. I haven't the money to pay, but she'll give me the place for to-night. Now, Master, I'll spread the sheet for you. (They spread the sheet on the bed.)
MUSKERRY Can you go down the stairs, Myles Gorman? I tried to get down the stairs and my legs failed me.
GORMAN
One of the men will lead me down.
MUSKERRY (resting his hand on the bed and standing up) Sure one of the men will lead me down the stairs, too.
