They seated themselves at the table together,—

The customers “staring their eyes out,” to see

Who this queer-looking couple could possibly be,—

Asking each other in whispers, whether,

It wasn’t the likeliest thing that she,

Was a Western Actress, and he an Editor;

And some were terribly frightened, because

They couldn’t help thinking there certainly was,

The Old Nick to pay, and that he was their creditor.
