THE MAIL TRAIN TO DOVER. BROWN, JONES, AND ROBINSON STARTING ON THEIR TRAVELS.
AFTER A ROUGH PASSAGE, BROWN, JONES, AND ROBINSON ARE HERE SEEN LANDED AT OSTEND, SURROUNDED, AND A LITTLE BEWILDERED, BY THE NATIVES, WHO OVERWHELM THEM WITH ATTENTIONS—SEIZE THE LUGGAGE, THRUST CARDS INTO THEIR HANDS, DRAG THEM IN SEVERAL DIRECTIONS AT ONCE, ALL TALKING TOGETHER (WHICH PREVENTED THEIR DIRECTIONS BEING SO CLEAR AS THEY OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE BEEN)—AND, FINALLY, ALL EXPECTING MONEY!
THEY ARE AT THE DOUANE, WAITING FOR THE OFFICIALS TO SEARCH THE LUGGAGE.
ROBINSON AND JONES (ALARMED BY EXPRESSION OF BROWN’S COUNTENANCE). —“WHAT’S THE MATTER NOW?” BROWN (IN A VOICE OF AGONY). —“I’VE LEFT THE KEY OF MY BAG AT HOME!”
